MIAMI, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wrap Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: WRAP) (“Wrap” or, the “Company”), a global leader in non-lethal response and public safety technology, today highlighted the successful implementation of its WrapReality™ virtual reality platform by Clinton County Probation Services (“Clinton County”), a Pennsylvania-based corrections agency.

Led by Ed Hosler, a 20-year probation professional and certified instructor across defensive tactics, firearms, and other tools for law enforcement, Clinton County adopted WrapReality with the goal to enhance realism, improve decision-making under stress, and support consistent Non-Lethal Response training across probation officers, jail staff, and partner agencies. Clinton County initially evaluated WrapReality VR as part of a grant-funded initiative focused on expanding training realism beyond legacy laser-based simulators. According to Hosler, traditional 2D systems failed to fully immerse officers or reflect real-world positioning, movement, and decision-making challenges commonly encountered in corrections, probation, and reentry settings.

Clinton County reported that WrapReality’s immersive 360-degree environments, instructor-controlled avatars, and dynamic scenario flow enabled officers to physically move, seek cover, and engage in realistic verbal and tactical interactions. The capabilities of WrapReality were described as “unsurpassed” in terms of realism and officer engagement.

Clinton County integrated WrapReality VR into its 3,000-square-foot training facility, where the system is used not only by probation officers, but also by jail staff, local law enforcement agencies, and first responders. The platform is designed to support pre-certification exposure for firearms, scenario-based training, and after-action review, allowing instructors to pause, reset, and replay scenarios to reinforce learning and review their own decision-making under stress. Clinton County’s use of WrapReality extends beyond traditional patrol scenarios to corrections-specific and reentry-focused use cases, including verbal de-escalation, crisis intervention, and community reintegration encounters, which is an area where many agencies have reportedly struggled to establish consistent non-lethal training models.

Hosler emphasized that the instructor-driven functionality of WrapReality allows training to be tailored to agency-specific realities, including rural environments, custody settings, and probation encounters. In Clinton County’s experience, instructors can dynamically adapt avatar behavior, alter starting positions, and test decision-making across multiple force options, including verbal skills, OC spray, conducted electrical weapons, firearms, and BolaWrap®. Clinton County emphasized that it incorporated the WrapReality system to drive continuous education for firearms training and recruit onboarding, enabling officers to safely make mistakes, receive immediate feedback, and re-enter scenarios with improved tactics and mentality.

Integration into a Non-Lethal Response Program

Clinton County’s experience reinforces Wrap’s broader Non-Lethal Response strategy, which emphasizes the integration of technology, training, and policy with the aim to drive safer, more consistent outcomes. WrapReality is designed to enable agencies to train not just on individual tools, but on when, why, and how non-lethal options should be deployed within the totality of circumstances, particularly in correctional and custodial environments where de-escalation and containment are critical.

“We believe non-lethal tools are only effective if they are integrated into a well-structured training program,” said Ed Hosler, Deputy Chief Probation Officer. “WrapReality allows us to test judgment, reinforce verbal skills, and build confidence across different force options. In less than a year, we have seen improvements in awareness, de-escalation, and more deliberate decision-making.”

Strategic Value

Clinton County Probation Services represents a compelling example of how immersive training can support corrections, probation, jail operations, and community reentry programs, expanding the addressable use cases for non-lethal response solutions beyond traditional patrol environments. We believe Clinton County’s success in utilizing WrapReality underscores the importance of realistic training, instructor control, and integrated policy in driving sustainable adoption of non-lethal solutions.
