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.
