When the officers arrived on-scene, the subject responded with hostility and attempted to initiate a physical altercation. After various threats and erratic behavior from the subject and multiple requests by the officers for compliance, the officers were able to coordinate a plan to use the BolaWrap to restrain the subject.<\/p>\n<p>The BolaWrap was deployed to the subject\u2019s arms and immediately redirected the subject\u2019s attention and de-escalated the situation. The officers were able to swiftly contain the subject with handcuffs without the need for other tools or higher levels of physical force. The subject was safely taken into custody and transported to a nearby hospital for a mental health evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe BolaWrap once again proved to our officers that it is an effective way to de-escalate volatile situations,\u201d said Chief David Lash of the Northern York County Regional Police Department. \u201cIn this instance we had a man in crisis who was attempting to engage officers in a fight. The officers on-scene were quickly able to deploy the BolaWrap and take the subject into custody without the use of any force. In fact, the male asks the officers \u2018Did you think they hurt? They didn\u2019t hurt.\u2019 Neither the male nor the officers sustained any injuries, and we were able to get the man the help he needed. There is not another tool or weapon that we carry that would have allowed this situation to play out the way it did. The device worked exactly as intended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNorthern York Police Department has truly exemplified proper training and field use of the BolaWrap and their dedication to force avoidance,\u201d said Wrap CEO, TJ Kennedy. \u201cWe celebrate another successful BolaWrap deployment that ends with everyone safe, and the situation resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Wrap<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wrap\u2019s BolaWrap\u00ae Remote Restraint device is a patented, hand-held pre-escalation and apprehension tool that discharges a Kevlar\u00ae tether to temporarily restrain uncooperative suspects and persons in crisis from a distance.
