Not everyone who needs restraint is a suspect in a crime or has committed some act of violence. And as we've seen in many situations where our police officers must be involved, unnecessary escalation can lead to tragedy, community outrage, and even more violence. We've needed innovative solutions to the use of force issues we've seen for a long time now. Good police officers need the right tools for the best outcome. Here at RAP, we've invented just that. The bowl wrap isn't a weapon. In reality, it doesn't even look like one. Pain compliance is not part of the design. There's no chemical or electrical deterrent, no dangerous explosive charge. It's a simple remote restraint tool for safely and temporarily restraining someone. The BOLAR app is fast and can be deployed with either hand. It's now electronically deployed rather than mechanically like our first model. It's easy to aim, loads quickly, holsters easily and safely. And even without a perfect wrap, it buys officers time to deescalate the situation rather than resort to some higher use of force. On the other side of the situation, you have a person that's been raped. It could be a family member that's hard of hearing, a friend in a mental health, drug, or alcohol crisis. It could even be a violent suspect or a subject in distress that's posing a danger to themselves or others. Whoever it is, if they need to be restrained, the Bola Wrap is the right tool for the right situation. It's earning its place on every officer. In fact, from a UK study, the Bola Wrap ranks lower risk on the use of force continuum than handcuffs. where cuffing someone is always close range and can require physical force, the bowl wrapper strains from a safe distance.

It's going to secure them right where they're at, and then you can move in and safely take them into custody and get them help. So, I mean, I don't see any downsides to it.

It offers those few extra crucial moments officers need a window of opportunity to safely deescalate confrontations rather than resort to some higher pain compliance use of force.
