Officer deployed a BolaWrap at a distance of about 50 ft from the suspect while in foot pursuit. The tether completely missed. However, the sound of the BolaWrap deployment caused the suspect to stop running, turn around, and say, 'okay, okay' while surrendering.
On December 1, 2024, Minnesota officers pursued a suspect wanted for domestic assault who fled from officers on foot, requiring intervention during the foot pursuit.
The challenge was immediate: The domestic assault suspect was fleeing on foot from officers, creating ongoing public safety risks and requiring resolution of both the original domestic violence charge and the current evasion.
The WrapWindow™ opened during the foot pursuit when the officer had the opportunity to deploy BolaWrap at approximately 50 feet distance from the fleeing suspect.
Deployment and resolution: The officer deployed BolaWrap at about 50 feet distance during foot pursuit. Although the tether completely missed, the sound of the deployment caused the suspect to stop, turn around, and surrender saying 'okay, okay.'
The outcome exceeded expectations: Despite missing the target, the psychological impact of the BolaWrap sound alone achieved complete compliance, demonstrating the device's effectiveness even without physical contact.
