Wrap Technologies, Inc. , Tuesday, August 14, 2018, Press release picture

Several police chiefs were interviewed by media with the focus on engaging with the mentally ill. Buffalo Grove Police Chief Steve Casstevens said, "I think it's just another tool in the toolbox for officers when they're confronting perhaps a mentally ill person or a subject who wants to commit suicide." Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman added in a media interview, "It's impressive and it's absolutely something I'd be considering."

"We continue to see a very positive reception from local agencies and stakeholders including media as we demonstrate the patented BolaWrap 100 solution," said David Norris, President of Wrap Technologies. "The benefits of early remote restraint are appreciated by those answerable for making modern policing safer."
