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. The 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, a key part of WRAP's portfolio, is a non-lethal restraint device that deploys a multi-sensory distraction of sight and sound as a first response, followed by a non-lethal restraint if further escalation is required. 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 VR is a fully immersive training simulator designed to enhance decision-making under stress. As a comprehensive public safety training platform, it provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios that reflect 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.
This deployment with Stark Security is a significant step for WRAP as it seeks to diversify its customer base beyond law enforcement agencies into the private security sector. The ATF ruling provides additional tailwinds, potentially opening up new markets for the BolaWrap device and associated training.
