University of Maryland, Baltimore County Police Department to use WRAP’s proprietary scenario-based training and Non-Lethal Response system to improve campus security operations
MIAMI, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) (“WRAP” or the “Company”), a global leader in Non-Lethal Response™ (“NLR”) and public safety technology at https://www.wrap.com, today announced that the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (“UMBC”), https://umbc.edu/, has purchased BolaWrap® devices and NLR training as part of its initial deployment of non-lethal capabilities for campus safety and security.
“Our priority is to support a safe campus environment while giving officers additional tools that align with responsible, measured response,” states Lt. Col. Ed McDermott of UMBC. “BolaWrap provides a non-lethal capability that may help officers intervene earlier, reduce escalation, and create opportunities for safer resolutions when circumstances allow.”
The deployment supports UMBC’s ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe, secure, and welcoming environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
“UMBC public safety officers are expected to learn proper deployment, policy alignment, and scenario-based application of the BolaWrap device as part of a complete, non-lethal system,” states Jared Novick, WRAP President. “This may enhance their existing response protocols and reinforces responsible, disciplined use in real-world campus safety scenarios.”
For higher education environments, Non-Lethal Response tools may provide a meaningful capability for incidents involving behavioral escalation, crisis response, welfare checks, disorderly conduct, or other encounters where officers may benefit from additional time and distance. WRAP believes the deployment at UMBC may further demonstrate the relevance of its Non-Lethal Response ecosystem beyond traditional municipal law enforcement and into adjacent markets such as universities, healthcare systems, transportation, critical infrastructure, and security.
The UMBC purchase also builds on WRAP’s broader strategy to expand adoption of its public safety portfolio across organizations seeking safer, scalable, and policy-aligned response capabilities. In addition to BolaWrap, WRAP’s ecosystem includes Wrap Reality immersive training, WrapTactics™ learning management system, WrapVision™ body-worn camera and evidence management solutions, and additional public safety technologies designed to support safer outcomes for officers, subjects, and communities.
About Wrap Technologies, Inc.
Wrap Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WRAP) a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and non-lethal tools, delivering cutting-edge technology with exceptional people to address the complex, modern day challenges facing public safety organizations.
WRAP’s complete public safety 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, all of which supports the Company's mission to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective technologies for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.
With a growing demand for non-lethal tools and techniques to create time, distance and tactical advantage in non-criminal calls, Wrap's 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.
Wrap's BolaWrap® 150 solution is intended to provide law enforcement with a safer choice for nearly every phase of a critical incident. This innovative, patented device deploys a multi-sensory, cognitive disruption to expand the pre-escalation period and gives officers the advantage and critical time to manage non-compliant subjects before resorting to higher-force options. The BolaWrap® 150 is not pain-based compliance. It does not shoot, strike, shock, or incapacitate, instead, it helps officers strategically operate pre-escalation on the force continuum, reducing the risk of injury to both officers and subjects. 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), reinforcing Wrap's commitment to public safety through cutting-edge technology and expert training.
WrapReality™ VR is a fully immersive training simulator to enhance decision-making under stress.
As a comprehensive public safety training platform, it provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios that reflect the evolving challenges of modern law enforcement. By offering a growing library of real-world situations, WrapReality™ is intended to equip officers with the skills and confidence to navigate high stakes encounters effectively, which we believe leads to safer outcomes for both responders and the communities they serve.
WrapVision is an all-new body-worn camera and evidence management system built for efficiency.
Designed for efficiency, security, and transparency to meet the rigorous demands of modern law enforcement, WrapVision captures, stores, and helps manage digital evidence, ensuring operational security, regulatory compliance, and enhanced video picture quality and field of view.
The WrapVision camera, powered by IONODES, boasts streamlined cloud integration and final North American assembly, with a critical made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026. This track helps ensure data integrity and helps eliminate critical concerns over unauthorized access or foreign surveillance risks.
