TEMPE, ARIZ. – Wrap Technologies, Inc., an innovator of modern policing solutions, reported Sanborn County Sheriff’s Department is the first agency in the state of South Dakota to purchase the BolaWrap remote restraint device. Currently, more than 150 law enforcement agencies across 37 states in the US are carrying BolaWrap devices.

“The BolaWrap is a tool that will assist law enforcement in doing their jobs smarter and safer,” said Sheriff Tom Fridley of Sanborn County Sheriff’s Department. “It will help us end a situation peacefully without having to use a higher level of force that may hurt someone.”

With states opening, we are seeing increased sales and training activity, and I believe other cities and counties will follow Sheriff Fridley’s leadership in working toward a safer end to police encounters.”
