On July 11, 2024 Colorado municipal officers responded to a mental health call involving a subject with altered mental status due to substance abuse. Clear commands were given but the subject continued to back up to avoid being taken into custody.
**The challenge was immediate:** The subject's altered mental status from substance abuse made verbal commands ineffective, while his continued backing away created escalating resistance requiring intervention.
**The WrapWindow™ opened** after the responding officer communicated with his partner and provided a final warning, presenting the tactical moment for BolaWrap deployment before further escalation.
**Deployment and resolution:** The responding officer deployed the BolaWrap successfully. The subject was wrapped and became stalled due to being stunned by the deployment, enabling safe custody procedures.
**The outcome exceeded expectations:** The subject was taken into custody without incident, demonstrating how BolaWrap can effectively manage mental health crises complicated by substance abuse while avoiding injury.
