"We are excited that Chief Henry King and Edenton Police Department has decided to implement our remote restraint solution as part of their less lethal toolkit," said Mike Rothans, Chief Operating Officer at Wrap Technologies. "The following quote from Chief King recognizes the positioning of BolaWrap as an additional early engagement tool."

"It is an opportunity for us to have something in our tool belt," explained Edenton Police Chief Henry King, who hosted the presentation. "When you're going to fix a house, you want to have more than just a hammer. This gives us an extra tool to take someone into custody without using a different, higher level of force."
