BolaWrap was deployed on a low Wrap Zone (legs) from a distance of 10-15 feet and successfully stopped the individual.
On October 29, 2024, officers made contact with a male approximately 35 years old drinking in public. When informed he was being detained, the subject began walking away, creating a potential pursuit situation.
The challenge was immediate: The subject's decision to walk away when told he was being detained created a flight risk that could have escalated into a foot pursuit through populated resort areas.
The WrapWindow™ opened as the subject began to walk away, providing officers with the opportunity to deploy BolaWrap at the legs from 10-15 feet before losing control of the situation.
Deployment and resolution: Officers deployed BolaWrap on a low Wrap Zone targeting the legs from 10-15 feet distance, successfully stopping the individual's movement and preventing flight.
The outcome exceeded expectations: The deployment successfully stopped the subject without injury and prevented what could have become a dangerous foot pursuit in a crowded resort environment, ensuring public safety.
