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.
The deployment supports WRAP’s broader WrapShield platform strategy and reflects growing demand for immersive training solutions in the private security sector. The company noted 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.
Wrap Technologies offers a comprehensive public safety portfolio including 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, used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, incorporates a multi-sensory distraction of sight and sound as a first response, followed by a non-lethal restraint if further escalation is required, reducing the risk of injury to officers, subjects, and the community. Its training is certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST).
The Wrap Reality VR platform provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios that reflect evolving challenges of modern law enforcement, equipping officers with skills to navigate high-stakes encounters effectively. The WrapVision camera, powered by IONODES, features streamlined cloud integration and final North American assembly, with a made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026.
This strategic partnership with Stark Security underscores the increasing adoption of advanced training technologies in private security, driven by the need for effective de-escalation and situational awareness tools. The favorable ATF ruling further positions WRAP to capture growth in civilian and private security markets, potentially broadening its customer base beyond traditional law enforcement.
