Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP), a provider of non-lethal response technologies and public safety solutions, has appointed former New York City Police Department Deputy Commissioner Edward Delatorre Jr. to its Board of Directors, effective October 20, 2026. The appointment brings to the board a leader who helped introduce Narcan into NYPD patrol operations, guiding the program from a Staten Island pilot to citywide adoption and later sharing the model with departments nationally and internationally.
The company said it sees a direct parallel between Delatorre's work on Narcan and its own mission: making Non-Lethal Response technology, training and policy a practical, repeatable capability that agencies can adopt and sustain. When a police officer reaches someone in the middle of an opioid overdose, a single dose of Narcan can mean that person goes home to their family. Today, carrying it is routine for many officers, but it became routine because someone did the slower work of building the program around it. For the NYPD, part of that work was led by Delatorre.
The appointment matters beyond a single board seat. Delatorre's experience lies in the unglamorous but essential work of turning a promising tool into standard operating procedure: piloting, training, policy development and sustained adoption across a large agency. Wrap Technologies has positioned its Non-Lethal Response offerings as a similar kind of capability, one that requires more than a device to take hold. If Delatorre can help agencies replicate that playbook, the company could see stronger adoption of its technologies among law enforcement and public safety customers.
The news was announced in a press release issued via InvestorWire, a specialized communications platform focused on wire-grade press release syndication.

For investors and industry observers, the addition of a public-safety operational veteran to the board is a signal about strategy. Wrap Technologies has emphasized that non-lethal response is not simply a product category but a system of technology, training and policy. Delatorre's background in scaling a life-saving program across the largest police department in the United States gives the board direct experience in the kind of organizational change that adoption requires. The company's forward-looking statements regarding product adoption, strategy and the contributions of its Board of Directors remain subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially.
