The AMRRP represents over 60 rural agencies with more than 1,800 police officers. As a result of the vote, AMRRP will fund 50% of the purchase price of the BolaWrap and the associated accessories, to help equip police officers that work for its member agencies.

Further, the AMRRP Board unanimously agreed that BolaWrap’s remote restraint technology, when used properly, has the potential to limit risk and potentially reduce use of force liability for police agencies that adopt this technology. In a review of previous claims handled by AMRRP, the members of the AMRRP Board noted that the potential savings from having avoided those prior could have fully outfitted every officer within AMRRP’s member agencies with the BolaWrap devices.

WRAP President & CEO, Tom Smith said, “The unified vote of the Board of the AMRRP shows that Arizona community leaders are dedicated to the same mission we are: provide law enforcement with innovative solutions to complicated issues. We’re finding more and more that our communities are calling for alternative policing methods like our BolaWrap family of products and improved officer training aimed at reducing force, a key training goal of our immersive training platform, Wrap Reality. WRAP is committed to bringing new technologies to market and broadening the options available to every encounter an officer may face.”
