Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the Company or WRAP ) (Nasdaq: WRAP), a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and services, reported new data on BolaWrap uses in real-world law enforcement field situations. The first 50 field uses reported to WRAP by police agencies from across the United States resulted in an over 80% effective rate as tabulated by WRAP.
