An Alternative Strategy In Law Enforcement Risk Mitigation

from Public Risk Management

Listen in on this week's podcast discussing police departments and risk retention pools around the United States partnering with BolaWrap, a remote restraint device designed to help law enforcement control subjects without causing pain or injury. The BolaWrap is a handheld tool that deploys a cord which wraps around the subject's arms or legs, immobilizing them and allowing officers to approach and apprehend them without the need for force. The Arizona Risk Retention Pool, which provides insurance to municipalities and public entities in the state, is one such entity that has partnered with BolaWrap. The Pool has offered to cover 50% of the cost of the device for its members, recognizing the potential benefits to reducing claims and liability for excessive use of force incidents.
