Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) announced its featured placement in a new NetworkNewsWire editorial examining how evolving legal standards are reshaping demand for nonlethal law enforcement technologies. The editorial discusses the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2025 decision in Barnes v. Felix, which requires use-of-force decisions to be evaluated within the full context of an encounter, creating increased emphasis on tools that provide officers with additional response options before force escalates.
The editorial also highlights a recent Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) ruling classifying Wrap Technologies’ BolaWrap 150 as an instrument of restraint rather than a firearm or weapon under the Gun Control Act and the National Firearms Act. According to the editorial, the ruling strengthens the company’s commercial positioning as it expands its portfolio of public safety technologies.

Wrap Technologies is a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and non-lethal tools, delivering cutting-edge technology to address complex challenges facing public safety organizations. Its complete portfolio includes the non-lethal BolaWrap 150 device, Wrap Reality immersive training platform, WrapVision body-worn camera system, WrapTactics training programs, and next-generation C-UAS solutions like PAN-DA and the 1KC Kinetic Anti-Drone Cassette. These offerings support the company’s mission to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective technologies for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.
With growing demand for non-lethal tools to create time, distance, and tactical advantage in non-criminal calls, the BolaWrap 150 incorporates a multi-sensory distraction of sight and sound as a first response, followed by a non-lethal restraint if further escalation is required. This approach reduces the risk of injury to officers, subjects, and the community. The BolaWrap 150 is not pain-based compliance; it does not shoot, strike, shock, or incapacitate. Instead, it helps officers operate pre-escalation on the force continuum, reducing injury risk. Used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, BolaWrap is backed by training certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST).
WrapReality VR is a fully immersive training simulator designed to enhance decision-making under stress, providing first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios. WrapVision is an all-new body-worn camera and evidence management system built for efficiency, security, and transparency. It captures, stores, and helps manage digital evidence, ensuring operational security and regulatory compliance. The WrapVision camera, powered by IONODES, boasts streamlined cloud integration and final North American assembly, with a made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026.
