"Presenting the BolaWrap to the international community at the Milipol conference in Paris was an important means of growing our international distribution network," said Tom Smith, President of Wrap Technologies. "We received tremendous interest from attendees, including police and military officials, distributors, and journalists, many of whom I know and have worked with in the past. Due to the positive feedback, it was clear that the conference was highly beneficial for us and should aid our long-term goal of shipping product to more countries."
Attendees were offered the opportunity to experience BolaWrap in realistic scenarios using the new Wrap Virtual Reality training system.
Multiple media outlets came to the BolaWrap booth to interview members of the Company about the BolaWrap, including TF1 in France and Epig-Group in Germany.
"There was definitely a buzz throughout the conference about BolaWrap, as reflected by the number of visitors that came specifically to learn about our device," said David Norris, CEO of Wrap Technologies. "There has not been a significant innovation to the public safety's toolbelt in more than 30 years, and agencies are looking for new solutions. Due to BolaWrap's applications to several markets in various countries, the international community in particular is excited about our less-lethal remote restraint tool, and we are therefore continuing to work to expand into and service these markets."
