The deployment was successful, and the subject was taken into custody with handcuffs only. The hooks penetrated skin but did not cause injury.
On April 2, 2024, officers responded to an outdoor disturbance involving a 21-year-old male under the influence of drugs in a Colorado resort town. The situation required immediate intervention to ensure public safety.
The challenge was immediate: The subject was exhibiting unpredictable behavior due to drug intoxication, creating risks for both civilians and responding officers in a busy resort area.
The WrapWindow™ opened when officers determined the subject was standing still at approximately 18 feet distance, providing optimal conditions for safe BolaWrap deployment targeting the arms.
Deployment and resolution: Officers successfully deployed the BolaWrap high (arms) from 18 feet distance while the subject remained stationary. The deployment achieved the intended restraint effect, allowing officers to approach safely.
The outcome exceeded expectations: The subject was taken into custody using handcuffs only with no additional force required. While the hooks penetrated skin, no injury occurred, demonstrating the safety profile of the device even with skin contact.
