Backup officer was equipped with a BolaWrap device, and a successful deployment distracted the suspect who was taken into custody without further incident.
On July 11, 2024, Colorado municipal officers encountered a suspect driving a pocket bike in downtown areas in a reckless manner, nearly striking pedestrians while refusing all commands and resisting arrest.
The challenge was immediate: The suspect's reckless operation of a pocket bike in pedestrian areas created immediate public safety risks, while his continued backing away from officers escalated the dangerous situation.
The WrapWindow™ opened when the suspect continued backing away from the arresting officer despite commands, providing the backup officer with the tactical opportunity for BolaWrap deployment.
Deployment and resolution: The backup officer equipped with BolaWrap achieved successful deployment, creating sufficient distraction to stop the suspect's evasive movement and enable safe custody.
The outcome exceeded expectations: The BolaWrap distraction immediately ended the dangerous evasive behavior, allowing officers to take the suspect into custody without further incident and eliminating the pedestrian safety threat.
