Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP), a global leader in innovative public safety technologies, has been selected by WOFT Charities to provide training support for the WOFT Teacher Safety Training Program. This initiative received a $475,000 appropriation in Florida's fiscal year 2026-27 state budget, underscoring the state's commitment to enhancing school safety. The program aims to equip teachers, administrators, and school personnel with practical skills in situational awareness, threat recognition, early intervention, de-escalation, and avoiding physical confrontation when possible.
The training will include real-world scenarios and practical self-defense instruction, providing educators with the tools needed to respond effectively in crisis situations. WOFT Charities received the appropriation, and Wrap Technologies will receive a portion based on services provided. It is important to note that this is not a direct $475,000 award to Wrap Technologies and should not be interpreted as guaranteed future revenue.
In addition to the training program, Wrap Technologies has secured exclusive access to WOFT's training facility, which is being developed as a national flagship environment for integrated WRAP training. This facility is expected to serve as a model that could expand beyond education into law enforcement, private security, military, and other professional safety environments, as well as for private citizens. The company envisions incorporating a digital training ecosystem that supports continuous learning, recurring proficiency, and certification, further solidifying its position in the public safety sector.
Wrap Technologies' selection for this program highlights the growing demand for non-lethal tools and training techniques that create time, distance, and tactical advantage in potentially volatile situations. The company's flagship product, the BolaWrap 150, is a patented, non-lethal restraint device that deploys a multi-sensory distraction and a restraint cord, providing officers with a safer option for managing non-compliant individuals without resorting to higher-force options. The BolaWrap 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).
Beyond the BolaWrap, Wrap Technologies offers a comprehensive public safety portfolio, including the Wrap Reality immersive training platform, which uses virtual reality to simulate high-stress scenarios for first responders, and the WrapVision body-worn camera system, which is designed for efficiency and security. The company is also developing next-generation counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) solutions like PAN-DA and the 1KC Kinetic Anti-Drone Cassette, addressing the growing threat of drones.
The partnership with WOFT Charities represents a strategic move for Wrap Technologies to diversify its market reach. By entering the education sector, the company can demonstrate the versatility of its training methodologies and technologies, potentially opening doors to other non-law enforcement markets. The exclusive access to the training facility provides a controlled environment to refine and showcase its offerings, which could lead to broader adoption across various safety-sensitive industries.
This initiative aligns with Wrap Technologies' mission to provide safer, scalable, and cost-effective technologies for public safety, defense, and critical infrastructure markets. As the company expands its footprint into school safety, it reinforces the importance of proactive measures to protect educators and students, a priority for communities nationwide. The success of this program could serve as a blueprint for other states and organizations looking to enhance their safety training protocols.
