Grant Application for Police WRAP Restraint Sparks Debate in Whitehall

Whitehall City Council approved a grant application to purchase a WRAP full-body restraint device for police use, aiming to better control violent suspects. The $19,669 grant also covers portable radios and a digital fingerprint reader, with the device costing $15,000. While some council members expressed concerns about the device’s intensity and the absence of a strict usage policy, police officials emphasized its humane benefits and compared it favorably to other restraint methods. The device is used by over 1,800 agencies nationwide and is considered an alternative to controversial restraints like hog-ties.
