Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) announced that Stark Security Inc., a Chicago-based protective services firm, has selected and will deploy the company's Wrap Reality virtual reality training platform across its operations and officer training programs. This deployment expands WRAP's presence in the private security market, with Stark using the immersive platform to train armed and unarmed officers in de-escalation, situational awareness, communication and policy-based decision-making through realistic scenarios.
WRAP said the deployment supports its broader WrapShield platform strategy and reflects growing demand for immersive training solutions in the private security sector. The company added that ATF Ruling 2026-2, which classifies its BolaWrap 150 as an instrument of restraint rather than a firearm or weapon under federal law, could expand access to civilian and private security markets as it continues to broaden adoption of its training and non-lethal response technologies.
The BolaWrap 150 is a non-lethal restraint device that deploys a multi-sensory distraction of sight and sound as a first response, followed by a restraint if further escalation is required. It is designed to provide law enforcement with a safer choice for nearly every phase of a critical incident, reducing the risk of injury to officers, subjects, and the community. Used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, the device is backed by training certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST).
Wrap Reality is a fully immersive training simulator that provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios reflecting the evolving challenges of modern law enforcement. The platform offers a growing library of real-world situations to equip officers with the skills and confidence to navigate high-stakes encounters effectively, leading to safer outcomes for both responders and communities.
The deployment with Stark Security underscores the increasing adoption of Wrap's technologies in the private sector. ATF Ruling 2026-2 is a significant regulatory development that could further open the civilian and private security markets for the BolaWrap device. The ruling clarifies that the device is not considered a firearm or weapon under federal law, potentially reducing barriers to adoption.
Wrap Technologies continues to expand its public safety portfolio, which includes the BolaWrap 150, Wrap Reality VR 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. The company focuses on providing safer, scalable, and cost-effective technologies for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.
