Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) announced that the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board (ILETSB) has certified its 10-hour BolaWrap 150 CIT Rescue Tool Level 1 Law Enforcement User Course for in-service training. The certification recognizes 5.5 hours across five categories of mandated law enforcement training, making Illinois the first state to recognize a curriculum developed under the company's Non-Lethal System Doctrine.
The course combines two hours of foundational instruction, which can be completed through the company's WrapTactics Learning Management System, with eight hours of in-person training covering equipment handling, decision-making, practical techniques, and certification testing. This blended approach allows participating agencies to apply portions of the curriculum toward existing officer training requirements, subject to applicable state and agency rules.
The certification is significant for Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) as it supports the company's strategy to transition from individual equipment sales toward integrated de-escalation programs that incorporate digital education, standardized training, and ongoing officer proficiency. By embedding its training into state-recognized curricula, Wrap Technologies can create recurring revenue opportunities through continued education, instructor credentialing, and long-term agency relationships. The company has submitted curriculum materials for consideration in several additional states and believes its training model could expand its recurring revenue base.
For law enforcement agencies, the certification means that officers in Illinois can receive training on the BolaWrap 150, a remote restraint device designed to support de-escalation, while earning credit toward state-mandated training hours. This could lead to wider adoption of non-lethal tools and improved public safety outcomes. The move also positions Wrap Technologies as a provider of comprehensive de-escalation solutions rather than just a device manufacturer.
