Informative Essay: The Use Of Robots In Law Enforcement
They take an oath, they know what they are getting into, they signed up for this, but what if there was a way to help more of our officers come home safely at night. Due to recent discoveries in a very technical field, engineers have figured a way to send robots in and detonate without harming outside personnel, just the criminal. I believe that this is a great thing for our law enforcement to be able to use. I trust that they will use it only when necessary and as a last resort but it should be available for them to use when needed. Law enforcement should have this available for their use because it helps ensure the safety of themselves, it helps ensure the safety of inisants, and the cost effectiveness. Police robots today are designed to

deal with these situations.
Law enforcement should have this technology available to them because it helps ensure the safety of themselves. By using robots, you ensure that officers and deputies won’t be in the line of fire. These robots can manipulate objects as well as gather data through a variety of technologies. They have made robots that can be used to communicate through as well. This type of robot will help when the suspect refuses to leave and be in forces sight they can send the robot in an either persuade them out or interrogate them there on the scene. Robots will be used only in the case that they are either a last resort or an absolute need. Support of reporter Michael Nunez claims that the decision to kill the suspect in the Dallas shooting using a robot with an armed explosive, was made after an hours-long standoff. With this restriction in affect the law enforcement won’t be able to abuse this availability to them. When dealing with a bomb one wrong move can lead to a disaster, hurting the officers and people nearby. According to Len Calderone of robotics tomorrow, to prevent a disaster from happening, a robot substitutes for an officer in locating and defusing a bomb, using cameras, microphones, and sensors. By using the robots to do the more dangerous jobs such as locating bombs, law enforcement can still do their job but from a safe distance.
Safety of the majority, when there is a criminal suspect doing this like shooting or going out of their way to put others in harm we need a solution. An easy way of this is with robotics. A robot can be used to distract the suspect of even drive them away from the mass of people. Engineers can program the robots to be able to radiation sense or scan for things such as bombs and explosives. If the robot can spot these things and let the controller know that officers can get people to safety quicker and with much more ease. Along with policemen Robotics of tomorrow states that The SAR robot has been programed to rescue an injured person during an ongoing fight where a body would be hurt. Police deal with hostage situations happen quite often. Most the time officers don’t know what is happening inside, where the hostages are being held, a robot can go in, see how the hostages are involved, where they’re located, and the physical state of their wellbeing. The families of our officers also need to be protected, with seeing benefits. The Washington Post states that without the use of a bomb-strapped robot more lives could’ve been taken. Safety of the majority is always a concern and by using this advanced technology more of the majority can get out of these situations safer.
The cost, not only money cost but time cost.
Police can be paid by the taxes we everyday Americans pay, public services. According to Bloomberg after the shooting in Dallas Frederick Frazier had to sign $2000 checks, one after another. They were for the families of the slain. The cost of life in law enforcement is huge. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund 123 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty last year, among the more than 900,00 currently active in the U.S. Life insurance for police officers is a must, where they are constantly in the line of fire. Bestliferates.org tells us how hard and complicated it can be for police officers to get the proper life insurance. If the robots can better ensure a policeman’s life than the insurance won’t be as high, thus making tax dollars lower. Robots will also elevate the mess, there won’t be much of a mess because it can get the job done quicker, but it can also get it done more effectively. The use of robots also will help with cost of time. There have been shoot outs that last hours if not days, technology such as this can help with that. They can search the scene, fins the suspect, and bring the suspect down in a much less significant time frame than a group of
people.

For the betterment of our communities’ safety and of our friends, the robotic advances in today’s society.
