Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) announced that the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board (ILETSB) has certified its 10-hour BolaWrap(R) 150 CIT Rescue Tool Level 1 Law Enforcement User Course for in-service training, recognizing 5.5 hours across five categories of mandated law enforcement training. According to the company, Illinois is the first state to recognize a curriculum developed under its Non-Lethal System Doctrine.
The course structure combines two hours of foundational instruction, which can be completed through the company's WrapTactics(TM) Learning Management System, with eight hours of in-person training covering equipment handling, decision-making, practical techniques and certification testing. The certification allows participating agencies to apply portions of the curriculum toward existing officer training requirements, subject to applicable state and agency rules.
The approval matters beyond a single course listing. It supports Wrap Technologies' strategy to transition from individual equipment sales toward integrated de-escalation programs that incorporate digital education, standardized training and ongoing officer proficiency. For law enforcement agencies, that means a certified pathway to train officers on a non-lethal restraint tool while potentially offsetting mandatory training hours; for the company, it signals a model that could generate recurring revenue through continued education, instructor credentialing and long-term agency relationships.
Wrap Technologies has submitted curriculum materials for consideration in several additional states and believes its training model could expand recurring revenue opportunities. The company's BolaWrap family of remote restraint devices, training programs and expanding technology portfolio is designed to provide officers and agencies with additional options to manage encounters, support de-escalation and improve public safety outcomes.
