'Spiderman like device': FL Deputies implement new non-lethal tool
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is implementing a new, non-lethal tool to help safely de-escalate a situation and detain a non-compliant individual. The hand-held device, “BolaWrap,” features a remotely launched tether that detains a person by wrapping around their body. Using BolaWap will enable deputies to temporarily, and safely control a person from a distance.
