What Is the BolaWrap?

The BolaWrap was developed by WRAP Technologies, Inc.— a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and services.

The device is 6 inches long, weighs 12 ounces and is simple to use. Upon discharge, it shoots out an eight-foot Kevlar tether at over 500 feet per second. The tether wraps around and entangles a subject at a range of 10-25 feet. The device is re-loadable in seconds after discharge.

Who Benefits from Police Using 
This Revolutionary Technology?

Everyone!

Law enforcement officials agree that early remote restraint allows for quick apprehension PRE-escalation and minimizes the risk of ugly encounters and liabilities. 

The problem is, police officers facing non-compliant and uncooperative subjects do not have an adequate tool that doesn’t hurt to engage these people when verbal commands fail to work. Their only recourse is to rely on higher levels of force using pain compliance tools. 

The BolaWrap is the solution. Instead of waiting for an encounter to unfold and escalate, the use of the BolaWrap can help effectuate an arrest quickly, safely and humanely — de-escalating the situation and facilitating a positive outcome that doesn’t result in injury or use of force.

Why is the BolaWrap Needed 
in Modern Policing?

The Answer to a Growing Crisis

A report by the Office of Research & Public Affairs points to the fact that over 40 million adults in the U.S. have mental health issues. One in four fatal police encounters involves someone who is mentally ill. 

People who are mentally ill or under the influence of drugs or alcohol are less likely to be compliant with police. The BolaWrap gives law enforcement a potentially painless option to use early in an encounter. This will lead to a reduction in the use of deadly force and help save lives.

Better Than Existing Options

Other less lethal weapons — such as pepper spray and conducted energy weapons — have either been ineffective or have caused unnecessary injury and even death. The BolaWrap is a viable pre-escalation solution that is virtually painless, yet effective at the same time. 

The public and government officials are demanding more humane ways for police to handle encounters before they escalate. The BolaWrap gives police a low-level force option to restrain subjects without hurting themselves or the subject.

Effective and Easy to Use

The device is an early-use weapon in the “Use of Force Continuum.” The BolaWrap fills the gap police need to stop a person non-violently who is not complying with orders. For this reason, it has a broader use potential than pepper spray, conducted energy weapons, or a gun.

TEMPE, AZ — A revolutionary remote restraint device called the BolaWrap is making headlines among law enforcement agencies nationwide. 

Hi. My name is Tom Smith. 

For over 25 years, I have been bringing innovative less-than-lethal weapons solutions to law enforcement. 

As the co-founder of TASER International, I helped introduce such breakthrough devices to police departments across the country. 

Step 1: Aim

This patented, hand-held apprehension tool is being used by more than 500 law enforcement agencies in the US and 44 countries abroad. More agencies are using the technology every day. 

Here’s why: Police often face subjects who are mentally ill, in a crisis, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. These subjects are often non-compliant and uncooperative. Until now, police did not have an adequate pre-escalation tool (that doesn’t injure) to engage these people when verbal commands fail.

The goal of most tools is to inflict pain until an individual either submits or until the threat is eliminated - risking escalation and serious injury or worse.

BolaWrap is the only tool where the goal is not to inflict pain to gain compliance or eliminate a threat, but rather to temporarily restrain and distract individuals - to buy officers time and make it safer for them to approach and gain control of individuals.

Most agencies don’t even consider using the BolaWrap a use of force because it is not designed to inflict any pain. Unlike less-lethal weapons, this tech is a restraint device.

Like ‘remote handcuffs’, BolaWrap is designed to safely and humanely restrain resisting subjects from a distance; thus, helping to end encounters before they escalate without injury to the officer or subject and without needing to use higher levels of force.

So far, over 50 field uses have been reported with a remarkable success rate of over 80%.
