Wrap Technologies (NASDAQ: WRAP) has been chosen by WOFT Charities to provide training support for the WOFT Teacher Safety Training Program, which secured a $475,000 appropriation in Florida's fiscal year 2026-27 state budget. This selection underscores the growing importance of school safety and positions Wrap's training methodologies as a key component in addressing threats within educational environments.
The program aims to equip teachers, administrators, and other school personnel with practical safety and preparedness skills, focusing on situational awareness, threat recognition, early intervention, de-escalation, and avoiding physical confrontation when possible. It 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.
Beyond the immediate training contract, Wrap Technologies has secured exclusive access to WOFT's training facility, which is being developed as a national flagship environment for integrated Wrap training. This facility could serve as a hub for expanding Wrap's training model beyond education into law enforcement, private security, military, and other professional safety environments, as well as for private citizens. The company also envisions incorporating a digital training ecosystem that supports continuous learning, recurring proficiency, and certification.
This development is particularly noteworthy given the increasing demand for non-lethal solutions in public safety. Wrap's BolaWrap 150, a patented non-lethal restraint device, has been adopted by over 1,000 agencies across the U.S. and in 60 countries. The device uses a multi-sensory distraction to create time and distance, allowing officers to manage non-compliant subjects before resorting to higher-force options. Its training is certified by the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST), reinforcing Wrap's commitment to professional standards.
Wrap's portfolio also includes the Wrap Reality immersive training platform, which provides first responders with realistic, interactive scenarios to enhance decision-making under stress. Additionally, the WrapVision body-worn camera system, powered by IONODES, offers streamlined cloud integration and a made-in-America roadmap projected for early 2026, addressing concerns over data integrity and foreign surveillance risks.
The selection for the Florida teacher training program is a strategic move for Wrap Technologies, as it expands its reach into the education sector and demonstrates the versatility of its training solutions. By partnering with WOFT, Wrap is not only contributing to school safety but also establishing a foothold that could lead to broader adoption of its technologies and training across various sectors. This initiative highlights the importance of proactive safety measures and the role that innovative non-lethal tools and training can play in protecting communities.
