Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) is broadening its public safety technology platform with the introduction of WrapShield and an exclusive U.S. and NATO license to Frenel Imaging’s TPiCore thermal-polarimetric sensing, the company announced July 28. The moves come as law enforcement and security agencies face mounting pressure to adopt response-to-resistance alternatives that minimize injury and de-escalate confrontations.
The company’s BolaWrap 150 Remote Restraint Device, which fires a tethered Kevlar cord to temporarily restrain a subject, has been its flagship product. Now, with WrapShield expected in July 2026 and the addition of AI-enabled detection capabilities beginning with counter-unmanned aircraft systems (counter-UAS), Wrap is layering detection technology onto its existing non-lethal response platform.
Wrap describes itself as a global public safety technology provider developing policing solutions for law enforcement and security personnel across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. Its portfolio includes Wrap Reality training simulation, Wrap Vision evidence management, Wrap Tactics, and counter-drone solutions.
The company’s expansion reflects a wider market shift. High-profile use-of-force incidents have led to costly litigation, eroded community trust, and increased scrutiny of how officers are equipped and trained. Agencies are seeking tools that create time, distance, and tactical advantage, particularly in encounters involving individuals in mental- or behavioral-health crises. This has widened the customer base beyond traditional policing into corrections, campus safety, healthcare, and transportation security.
The BolaWrap 150 is designed to restrain a subject at a distance without causing pain or injury, offering an alternative to physical force or conducted energy weapons. Wrap’s platform aims to close what the company calls the “response-to-resistance gap” with technology that reduces injury to everyone involved. The addition of detection capabilities through TPiCore sensing could help officers identify threats, such as concealed weapons or drones, before a confrontation escalates.
Wrap’s approach has attracted interest from agencies looking to balance officer safety with community expectations. The company’s training and evidence management tools are intended to support proper use and documentation of force encounters. Wrap Reality provides virtual reality training scenarios, while Wrap Vision manages body-worn camera footage and other evidence.
