On November 7, 2018, Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) promoted and appointed Michael Rothans as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer.

Mr. Rothans first joined the Company in September 2017 as Senior Vice President of Business Development, a position that he held until his recent promotion to Chief Operating Officer. As Senior Vice President of Business Development, he was responsible for engaging larger police agencies across the United States. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Rothans served as a police officer and executive in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for thirty-one years, where he retired as the Assistant Sheriff overseeing the department’s patrol operations in 2015. While there, he worked in all aspects of law enforcement, including custody, patrol, investigative, administrative, supervisory and management roles. In addition, he was responsible for a nearly one-billion-dollar budget and supervised over 6,000 sworn and civilian personnel. Mr. Rothans received many commendations during his career, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Distinguished Service Award in 1997 and 2010, the Exemplary Service Award in 2001, 2005, and 2009, and, the Meritorious Service Award in 2008. In addition, as Chair of the Executive Force Review Committee responsible for reviewing all Officer Involved Shootings and significant uses of force, he developed invaluable knowledge about real world encounters between police and the public. Mr. Rothans graduated from Loyola Marymount University in 1984 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science, immediately after which he joined the police academy.

In connection with his promotion to Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Rothans’ annual base salary was increased to $180,000 per year.
