In its endless quest to stay abreast of the latest technology, the Coral Gables Police Department will be deploying a new weapon called the Bola Wrap. It is essentially a gun that shoots out bola balls attached to the ends of a net that entangles the suspect. “They are calling it our Spider Man weapon,” says Police Chief Ed Hudak. “It’s going to be a game changer, because it’s a non-lethal way to stop a suspect.” When deployed (in the near future, as of press time), the Coral Gables police department will be one of only 12 agencies in the country to have it.
