ISSUE
On occasion the Police Department will apprehend an individual who is combative; and is willing to injury
themselves by banging their heads against the squad windows and barrier.
BACKGROUND
During the last several years law enforcement agencies have searched for equipment to assist with
mitigating the injuries of a combative person once they have been apprehended. Rosemount Officers have
thoroughly researched many different equipment options and believe equipment is needed to mitigate the
injuries an apprehended person may suffer at their own hands and have purchased the WRAP.
The WRAP provides equipment so officers may be able to restrain a person in custody who is combative
and trying to hurt themselves or officers. The WRAP restrains a person in a comfortable, seated upright
position as recommended by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). The WRAP creates
a “papoose effect” – a position that has a calming effect for the subject. Subjects restrained with The
WRAP are not forced to lay face down, which is a more stressful position. The seated upright position is
recognized as one of the safest positions for oxygen recovery while creating no pressure against the
chest. The WRAP is available in two sizes, standard and small. The department was able to secure a
standard system in 2016 and with the donation of $1300.00 from the Rotary we are able to purchase the
smaller model for smaller individuals.
SUMMARY
Staff recommends that Council approve the receipt of the donations totaling $1300.00 from the
Rosemount Rotary and approve expenditure of $1300.00 to purchase the equipment.
