Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP), a provider of non-lethal public safety technologies, 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.
The move underscores a growing demand for immersive training solutions in the private security sector, aligning with WRAP's broader WrapShield platform strategy. The company also highlighted 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. This regulatory clarity may accelerate adoption of its training and non-lethal response technologies beyond traditional law enforcement.
Wrap Technologies has been a global leader in innovative public safety technologies, offering a complete portfolio that includes the non-lethal BolaWrap 150 device, Wrap Reality immersive training platform, WrapVision body-worn camera system, WrapTactics training programs, and next-generation counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) solutions like PAN-DA and the 1KC Kinetic Anti-Drone Cassette. These technologies support the company's mission to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective solutions for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets.
The BolaWrap 150 is designed to create time, distance, and tactical advantage in non-criminal calls by deploying a multi-sensory distraction of sight and sound, followed by a non-lethal restraint if further escalation is required. This approach reduces the risk of injury to officers, subjects, and the community. Unlike pain-based compliance tools, the BolaWrap does not shoot, strike, shock, or incapacitate; instead, it helps officers operate pre-escalation on the force continuum. Used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, BolaWrap 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. By offering a growing library of real-world situations, Wrap Reality aims to equip officers with the skills and confidence to navigate high-stakes encounters effectively, leading to safer outcomes for both responders and the communities they serve.
In addition to training, Wrap Technologies offers WrapVision, a body-worn camera and evidence management system built for efficiency, security, and transparency. Powered by IONODES, WrapVision features streamlined cloud integration and final North American assembly, with a made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026. This helps ensure data integrity and addresses concerns over unauthorized access or foreign surveillance risks.
The deployment with Stark Security reflects a broader trend of private security firms adopting advanced training technologies to improve officer performance and safety. As regulatory frameworks evolve, such as ATF Ruling 2026-2, the market for non-lethal tools and training is likely to expand, offering new opportunities for companies like Wrap Technologies.
