Wrap Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: WRAP) announced it has completed a new law enforcement doctrine and training curriculum built around the BolaWrap 150, a restraint device the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) classified under ATF Ruling 2026-2 as neither a firearm nor an "any other weapon" under federal law.

The company has submitted the curriculum for independent validation in preparation for applying for California Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certification. If certified, the training would provide California law enforcement agencies with a standardized methodology for incorporating the BolaWrap 150 into patrol and crisis-response operations.

The doctrine was developed with support from the Task Force 70 Foundation, a 501(c)(3) law enforcement training organization, along with law enforcement instructors and curriculum developers. It integrates communication, resistance recognition, time, distance, positioning and remote restraint into a single tactical framework.

WRAP plans to distribute the curriculum digitally through its Wrap Tactics learning management system. The company stated it intends to use the California POST process as a model for pursuing additional state certifications nationally.

"For decades, law enforcement has been trained to de-escalate, but there is a fundamental limitation: an officer cannot make another person de-escalate," said Jared Novick, President of WRAP Technologies. "Our new doctrine is designed to give officers a lawful, physical methodology to operationalize de-escalation before an encounter requires traditional weapons-based force."

Novick also addressed the company's commercial outlook: "The economic opportunity is not simply selling another piece of equipment. We believe the larger opportunity is establishing an operational standard around what happens between verbal communication and traditional weapons-based force."

WRAP is headquartered in Miami, Florida. This announcement is based on a company press release.
