Texas agency’s initial purchase of BolaWrap devices, WrapTactics subscriptions, and in-person training supports broader expansion of tools, training, and policy-aligned NLR capabilities

MIAMI, April 07, 2026 -- Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) (“Wrap” or the “Company”), a global leader in Non-Lethal Response (“NLR”) and public safety technology, today announced that the Galveston Police Department in Texas has adopted Wrap’s NLR solutions through the purchase of BolaWrap 150

devices and WrapTactics™ subscriptions, supported by in-person training. Wrap also expects additional expansion purchases to support broader deployment of NLR capabilities across various units within the department.

Galveston Police Department serves a coastal community with an emphasis on personal security, community engagement, and officer accessibility. The department highlights community relations as a core part of its policing approach and maintains an operational structure that includes patrol, and special operations functions that are compatible with scalable, repeatable non-lethal tools and training.

Advancing Non-Lethal Response in a Dynamic Operational Environment

Wrap believes Galveston Police Department’s adoption reflects a practical step toward equipping officers with more options in encounters where agencies need to create time, distance, and control before situations escalate. By integrating BolaWrap devices with structured digital and in-person training, the department aims to build the foundation for a more standardized NLR capability across its organization.

This initial deployment was supported in part by the Mary Moody Northern Endowment, a Galveston-based charitable foundation that supports projects benefiting institutions in Texas and Virginia, with a historic priority on needs in the immediate Galveston area. Wrap believes that support reflects a shared commitment to equipping local institutions with resources that strengthen training, preparedness, and community well-being.

Training-Led Adoption

As part of this implementation, Galveston Police Department has adopted WrapTactics, Wrap’s Learning Management System designed to reinforce tactical decision-making, ongoing proficiency, and consistent documentation, alongside in-person training intended to support operational readiness. This integrated approach aligns with Wrap’s broader NLR model, where tools and training work together with the aim to improve field confidence, support policy alignment, and promote safer outcomes.

Galveston’s public training program emphasizes a professional training environment, formal registration, agency participation, and structured course administration through its Training Division. Wrap believes that commitment to training discipline makes GPD a strong fit for a layered NLR strategy that combines field tools with ongoing education and reinforcement.

Pathway to Broader Department Expansion

Additional expansion purchases are currently in discussions as Galveston Police Department evaluates the extension of NLR capabilities to additional units within the department, supported by Mary Moody Northern Endowment. Wrap believes this phased approach suggests a broader trend among agencies moving from initial product adoption toward more integrated NLR programs built around tools, training, and implementation support.

Galveston Police Department also emphasizes transparency and professional standards, including a public-facing policy review forum and the Office of Professional Standards. Wrap believes those elements are important enablers for long-term NLR adoption as agencies work to align deployment, training, and policy into a cohesive operational framework.

“Our goal is to give our officers more tools and training to respond effectively in situations where time, distance, and control matter most,” said Captain Sims of Galveston Police Department. “This initial deployment helps strengthen our non-lethal response capabilities with BolaWrap devices, WrapTactics subscriptions, and in-person training, and we appreciate the support of the Mary Moody Northern Endowment in helping make that investment possible. As we continue evaluating broader expansion across the department, we remain focused on equipping our officers with practical tools and training that support safer outcomes for everyone involved.”
