New Batman-Like Police Technology Gaining National and International Interest
by Samuel Allegri

The BolaWrap is the latest non-lethal technology available for police to use that could be a revolutionary tool used for apprehending suspects.

BolaWrap, invented by Las Vegas-based Wrap Technologies, looks like something Batman would carry around on his famous utility belt. The handheld remote restrain device could replace painful and in some times dangerous tasers, capturing a suspect by discharging 8 feet of Kevlar tether at a speed of 513 feet per second, at a distance of 10-25 feet.

“Anytime we have to go hands-on with somebody to take them into custody for whatever reason, there’s always a chance of injury to our officers and the suspects,” El Segundo Police Chief Bill Whalen said to Fox News. “This is something that might hopefully mitigate that risk a little bit and give us another tool that we can safely take people into custody and avoid injury to both them and our officers.”
