Wrap Technologies Expands Private Security Footprint with Stark Security Deployment

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.

WRAP said the deployment supports its broader WrapShield platform strategy and reflects growing demand for immersive training solutions in the private security sector. The company added 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.

The BolaWrap 150 is a key component of WRAP’s portfolio. It incorporates a multi-sensory distraction of sight and sound as a first response, followed by a non-lethal restraint if further escalation is required. This approach reduces the risk of injury to officers, subjects, and the community. The device is intended to provide law enforcement with a safer choice for nearly every phase of a critical incident, deploying a multi-sensory, cognitive disruption to expand the pre-escalation period and give officers time to manage non-compliant subjects before resorting to higher-force options. Used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, the BolaWrap is backed by training certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST).

The Wrap Reality VR training simulator is a fully immersive platform designed to enhance decision-making under stress. It provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios that reflect the evolving challenges of modern law enforcement. By offering a growing library of real-world situations, Wrap Reality equips officers with the skills and confidence to navigate high-stakes encounters effectively, leading to safer outcomes for both responders and the communities they serve.

WRAP’s complete public safety portfolio also includes the WrapVision body-worn camera system, WrapTactics training programs, and next-generation C-UAS solutions like PAN-DA and the 1KC Kinetic Anti-Drone Cassette. The WrapVision camera, powered by IONODES, boasts streamlined cloud integration and final North American assembly, with a critical made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026. This helps ensure data integrity and eliminates concerns over unauthorized access or foreign surveillance risks.

The deployment with Stark Security underscores the growing adoption of WRAP’s technologies beyond traditional law enforcement into private security. As the company continues to expand its presence in this market, the implications for the industry include enhanced training capabilities for private security personnel, potentially reducing incidents of excessive force and improving officer and public safety. The ATF ruling further opens doors for civilian and private security markets, positioning WRAP for broader growth.
