Pennsylvania Agency Advances Non-Lethal Response Strategy with Latest BolaWrap Technology and State’s First WrapTactics Learning Management System Implementation
MIAMI, March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) (“Wrap” or the “Company”), a global leader in Non-Lethal Response (“NLR”) and public safety technology, today announced that the Northern York County Regional Police Department (“NYCRPD”) has upgraded its BolaWrap 100 devices to Wrap’s next-generation BolaWrap 150 platform. In addition, NYCRPD is expected to become the first law enforcement agency in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to implement Wrap’s new WrapTactics™ Learning Management System (“LMS”).
NYCRPD is a long-standing Wrap customer that currently deploys both BolaWrap and the WrapReality™ virtual reality training system as part of its operational readiness and officer development framework. NYCRPD’s Q1 2026 upgrade to BolaWrap 150 supports the department’s continued investment in equipping officers with advanced tools designed to enhance NLR capabilities and improve field outcomes.
Advancing Non-Lethal Response Capabilities
BolaWrap 150 represents Wrap’s latest evolution in remote restraint technology, offering enhanced performance and safety features and expanded functionality designed to provide officers with additional response options in rapidly evolving encounters. The device is engineered to assist in safely restraining individuals from a distance without relying on higher levels of force, supporting agency objectives related to de-escalation, injury reduction, and risk mitigation.
By transitioning from BolaWrap 100 to BolaWrap 150, NYCRPD intends to modernize its NLR toolkit while maintaining continuity in training and deployment protocols. The upgrade has the potential to underscore the department’s forward-looking approach to officer safety and community engagement.
“We remain committed to equipping our officers with tools that expand response options and align with best practices in modern policing,” said Chief David Lash of NYCRPD. “Upgrading to BolaWrap 150 helps strengthen our ability to apply appropriate NLR solutions when circumstances can be resolved without escalation. Integrating advanced technology with consistent training is central to our operational philosophy.”
First-in-State WrapTactics LMS Deployment
In parallel with the device upgrade, NYCRPD is expected to be the first agency in Pennsylvania to deploy WrapTactics™, Wrap’s newly launched Learning Management System designed to centralize and standardize ongoing training content. The LMS delivers structured digital coursework, policy reinforcement modules, and performance tracking tools meant to support continuous officer training.
WrapTactics was developed to enable agencies to manage certification pathways, reinforce tactical decision-making principles, and maintain documentation aligned with compliance and accountability requirements. The platform is designed to complement in-person and immersive VR training programs by providing scalable, on-demand educational resources that can be deployed department-wide.
As an existing user of WrapReality, NYCRPD is positioned to integrate WrapTactics into a cohesive training ecosystem that connects immersive scenario-based instruction with structured digital learning. This multi-layered approach allows the department to reinforce NLR doctrine across classroom, virtual, and field environments.
Strengthening Long-Term Partnership
NYCRPD’s continued adoption of Wrap’s products and services reflects to Wrap a durable partnership centered on innovation and operational effectiveness. The department’s use of both BolaWrap devices and WrapReality immersive training demonstrates a comprehensive strategy that combines equipment modernization with skills-based readiness.
Through an integrated approach that aligns advanced NLR solutions with structured training programs, digital learning infrastructure, and policy reinforcement frameworks, Wrap believes it is positioning agencies like NYCRPD for long-term operational success by equipping officers not only with the appropriate technology, but also with the education, accountability standards, and implementation support necessary to deploy those tools effectively and consistently in the field.
