Dunwoody Police deploy BolaWrap to secure uncooperative suspect after attempting to bite police officers.

At Monday's 6 p.m. Dunwoody City Council meeting the City Manager, Eric Linton will present his City Manager report with highlights from all departments, including police.   In the police section, I noted an incident where Dunwoody Police deployed new technology in order to safely de-escalate the situation ensuring the officers and the suspect were not harmed any further from that point.  Kudos to the Department for initializing this new tool.

Officers responded to a Shoplifting at Nordstroms. The suspect was located on the MARTA platform and was uncooperative. The suspect resisted arrest, which included him trying to bite Officers and banging his head on the concrete. Officers deployed the WRAP to secure the suspect. Three Officers suffered mild injuries during the arrest.

Below is a video clip showing the new tool (BolaWrap) in action.
