BC police force 1st in Canada to acquire “flying handcuffs” non-lethal crime fighting tool

/ August 8, 2025

From Global News.

Abbotsford, B.C., police have a new tool at their disposal that is a non-lethal option to stop people from a distance.

The BolaWrap will be an option for officers who are responding to emotionally-charged or unpredictable situations.

The BolaWrap uses a tethering mechanism to restrain individuals, launching what has been described as flying handcuffs — that is, a short cord with two anchors that wraps around the suspect without causing pain, according to police.

Global’s Taya Fast was in Abbotsford for a demonstration.
