How a grappler works <\/p>\n
The Grappler Police Bumper uses a deployable nylon net attached to a patrol car’s front bumper to snag a suspect’s rear tire, instantly locking the wheel and tethering the two vehicles together. This device allows the law enforcement officer to bring the car to a controlled stop, effectively minimizing incidents in the pursuit, police say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Orange County Sheriff’s office called the tool “a safer option for high-risk stops.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sheriff’s office used the grappler tool in an arrest after three suspects fled a shooting scene, the sheriff’s office said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
