Wrap Technologies, Inc. (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.
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.
This development is significant because it indicates a shift in the private security industry toward adopting advanced, non-lethal training tools. The Wrap Reality platform offers realistic scenarios that help officers improve decision-making under stress, potentially reducing the risk of incidents and liability. The ATF ruling further opens the door for wider use of the BolaWrap device in civilian and private sectors, which could transform how security personnel handle non-criminal incidents.
Wrap Technologies' complete public safety portfolio includes the non-lethal BolaWrap 150 device, Wrap Reality immersive training platform, WrapVision body-worn camera system, WrapTactics training programs, and next-generation C-UAS solutions. The BolaWrap 150 is used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, and its training is certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST).
The deployment with Stark Security underscores the growing demand for non-lethal tools and techniques that create time, distance and tactical advantage. As the private security sector seeks to enhance professionalism and safety, Wrap's technologies offer a scalable solution. For more information, visit https://ibn.fm/J7Jev.
