New Police robots: Big win for officer safety

Image
Roseburg Police Officers have two new crime-fighting allies that just might save someone’s life: a pair of tactical robots. The Roseburg Police Department bought two Transcend Robotics Vantage robots in May with $39,995 in funding from the American Rescue Plan Act. Equipped with cameras, the Vantage and Mini-Vantage are operated remotely and can be sent into dangerous buildings and other areas ahead of officers to search for suspects and possible weapons -- reducing risks to officers’ lives. “Any time I can put a robot in, instead of a body – big win,” Roseburg Police Chief Gary Klopfenstein told the Roseburg City Council in May. Roseburg Police bought the robots for the emergency response team, essentially the City’s SWAT team. The team trains monthly and Sgt. Daniel Allen, who is the emergency response team’s commander, trains just as often with the tactical robots. In late May, he trained with the robots at City Hall after business hours.
