Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) has been selected by WOFT Charities to provide training support for the WOFT Teacher Safety Training Program, a state-funded initiative in Florida. The program, which received a $475,000 appropriation in Florida's fiscal year 2026-27 budget, aims to equip teachers, administrators, and school personnel with practical safety skills. WRAP's involvement will focus on situational awareness, threat recognition, early intervention, de-escalation, and avoiding physical confrontation when possible. The training will include real-world scenarios and practical self-defense instruction.
While the appropriation was made to WOFT, WRAP will receive a portion based on services provided, and the company clarified that this should not be interpreted as a direct $475,000 award or guaranteed future revenue. The selection marks a significant expansion for Wrap Technologies, which is known for its non-lethal BolaWrap device and other public safety technologies. The company also announced exclusive access to WOFT's training facility, which is being developed as a national flagship environment for integrated WRAP training.
The potential of this partnership extends beyond education. Wrap Technologies believes the training model could be applied to law enforcement, private security, military, and other professional safety environments, as well as private citizens. The company envisions eventually incorporating a digital training ecosystem that supports continuous learning, recurring proficiency, and certification. This move aligns with the growing demand for non-lethal tools and techniques in various sectors.
Wrap Technologies' product portfolio includes the BolaWrap 150, a non-lethal restraint device that deploys a multi-sensory distraction and a tethered cord to restrain individuals without causing pain. The device is used by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries, and its training is certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST). The company also offers WrapReality, an immersive VR training simulator, and WrapVision, a body-worn camera system.
The selection for the Florida teacher safety program is a strategic move that could diversify Wrap's market reach and reinforce its commitment to public safety through training and technology. By partnering with WOFT, Wrap Technologies is positioning itself at the forefront of safety training in educational settings, which could lead to broader adoption of its methods and tools.
