Wrap Technologies, Inc. announced the appointment of John "Chappy" Chapman as Vice President of Training and Missions, tasking the veteran SWAT commander and multi-state POST instructor with leading the national expansion of the company's non-lethal response doctrine and training programs. Chapman, who began his public safety career in 1992 after serving in the United States Navy and is a certified POST instructor in 30 states, will oversee a standardized four-level training and credentialing architecture, expansion of the company's digital Learning Management System, state Peace Officer Standards and Training certification initiatives, and agency-wide adoption of WRAP's non-lethal response doctrine. That four-level model runs from Level 1 law enforcement users, who complete two hours of digital prerequisite learning plus eight hours of in-person training, up to a Level 4 credentialing board that certifies Level 3 master instructors; Level 2 instructors and Level 1 users recertify every two years, while Level 3 and Level 4 personnel recertify annually. Chapman has been a principal author of WRAP's non-lethal response doctrine, which is currently under review for POST certification in California with additional state submissions anticipated, and which incorporates non-lethal technologies such as the BolaWrap 150 into a standardized framework for early intervention and lawful subject control. Jared Novick, President of Wrap Technologies, said the company is building a national training and credentialing infrastructure intended to let law enforcement agencies institutionalize non-lethal response as a repeatable capability, adding that Chapman's appointment is an important step in scaling WRAP's technology, doctrine, and training programs across law enforcement.

WRAP Technologies announced the completion of a new law enforcement doctrine and training methodology designed to operationalize de-escalation using the BolaWrap 150, an ATF-classified instrument of restraint that is neither a firearm nor a weapon. The curriculum has been submitted for independent validation in preparation for applying for California Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certification, a step the company believes will reduce adoption barriers and create a recurring training layer through its Wrap Tactics learning management system. WRAP's doctrine addresses the gap between verbal de-escalation and weapons-based force, particularly in mental health and crisis intervention encounters, and aims to establish a repeatable national model starting with California. The company, headquartered in Miami, Florida, plans to digitally distribute the curriculum and pursue additional state certifications, with the support of the Task Force 70 Foundation.

Wrap Technologies reported a narrower second-quarter 2026 net loss of 4 cents per share, compared with a loss of 7 cents per share a year earlier, as revenues more than doubled to $2.1 million. Product sales climbed to $1.7 million from $0.01 million, while technology-enabled services revenues declined to $0.3 million from $1 million. Net loss narrowed to $2.3 million from $3.7 million, and gross margin expanded to 75.3% from 48.1%. Management highlighted the ATF's classification of BolaWrap 150 as an instrument of restraint rather than a firearm, which could expand its addressable market, and noted a Department of Homeland Security purchase order during the quarter.

Wrap Technologies announced the commercial launch of its WrapTactics Learning Management System, completing the training foundation layer of its six-tier WrapShield human-centered response architecture. The launch follows the ATF's 2026 classification of the BolaWrap 150 as an instrument of restraint, which removes procurement barriers and establishes training as the accountability standard. WrapTactics delivers digital certifications, instructor-led programs, and compliance reporting through Cornerstone's FedRAMP-compliant platform, creating a recurring subscription revenue model tied to continuous training requirements. The system offers three certification pathways—Operator, Agency Instructor, and Master Trainer—and expands WRAP's addressable market into private security, healthcare, education, and other professional safety sectors.

Wrap Technologies has acquired exclusive U.S. and NATO distribution rights to AI-sensing technology from Frenel Imaging that can detect drones even after they stop transmitting signals. The company plans to use the technology as the foundation of WrapShield, its counter-unmanned aircraft system and autonomous public-safety platform. Counter-drone operations are expected to be the initial application, with potential expansion into broader security markets.

Wrap Technologies announced that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has issued Ruling 2026-2, classifying the BolaWrap 150 as an instrument of restraint rather than a firearm or weapon under the Gun Control Act and the National Firearms Act. The ruling strengthens the company's position in the global public-safety space amid growing demand for non-lethal tools that give officers options earlier in encounters, following the Supreme Court's 2025 decision in Barnes v. Felix requiring full-context evaluation of use-of-force decisions. The BolaWrap 150 deploys a multisensory distraction and non-lethal restraint without pain compliance, and is used by more than 1,000 agencies across the United States and in 60 additional countries.

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County Police Department has purchased BolaWrap devices and non-lethal response training from Wrap Technologies as part of an initial deployment of non-lethal capabilities for campus safety and security. Lt. Col. Ed McDermott of UMBC stated that BolaWrap provides a non-lethal capability that may help officers intervene earlier, reduce escalation, and create opportunities for safer resolutions. WRAP President Jared Novick noted that UMBC public safety officers will learn proper deployment, policy alignment, and scenario-based application of the BolaWrap device as part of a complete non-lethal system. The deployment supports UMBC’s commitment to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment, and WRAP believes it may further demonstrate the relevance of its Non-Lethal Response ecosystem beyond traditional municipal law enforcement into adjacent markets such as universities and healthcare systems.
