(Nasdaq: WRAP) (“WRAP” or the “Company”), a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and services, today announced the full deployment of BolaWrap 150® remote restraint devices covering multiple law enforcement agencies in Montgomery County, Texas.

“This county-wide large-scale deployment of BolaWrap 150 demonstrates a strong commitment from Montgomery County, Texas to keep officers and communities safe,” said Kevin Mullins, President of WRAP. “Law enforcement agencies worldwide, including the hardworking men and women of Montgomery County are recognizing the value of our innovative, de-escalation technologies. We would like to thank the Court of Commissioners of Montgomery County for their support of WRAP and our mission to save lives.” 

Montgomery County Sheriff Rand Henderson added, “After participating in demonstrations for WRAP products, our department leadership recognized the immense value these de-escalation programs can provide in leading to life-saving outcomes, especially for individuals in mental crisis. We believe the BolaWrap 150 is an essential tool for enabling our deputies to carry out safer policing and we are looking forward to a rapid deployment over the coming weeks. We appreciate the support of the Montgomery County Commissioner’s Court in making this deployment possible.”
