The Los Angeles Police Department had their lead arrest and control instructors trained in new SafeWrap system to explore the possibility of training all officers in the system.
SafeWrap is a proprietary system of restraint that is designed to maximize physical control while reducing the risk of injury to all parties involved in a use of force encounter.
The system was created by Gracie University in response to inquiries from healthcare institutions that needed a way to safely restrain aggressive, suicidal, or emotionally disturbed patients in hospitals. With patient safety as the top priority, it was imperative that the system utilize no joint locks, no choke holds, and no strikes. The system was specifically designed to minimize compression of the diaphragm to facilitate free breathing and reduce the potential of a panicked response in the restrained individual.
Due to the tremendous success of its application, it was quickly realized that SafeWrap had the potential to facilitate improved outcomes across various public and private sector organizations, while maintaining the public’s confidence in the frontline personnel of these organizations. Institutional applications include, but are not limited to: Law Enforcement, Corrections, Probation/Parole, Fire / EMS, Healthcare, Security, Flight Attendants, Elderly Care, Education, and Childcare.
The SafeWrap system is patent pending worldwide and requires a license for institutional use. The benefit of the license is that it allows Gracie University to stipulate the terms of the system’s use, particularly as it pertains to minimum training requirements, to ensure that end-users are sufficiently trained in this potentially life-saving system.
Gracie University is actively gathering data on the system’s effectiveness. For this reason, there is currently no cost for “early adopter” military, law enforcement, and first responder organizations to acquire a SafeWrap license.
