Description
For $34,419.00 in payment authority to purchase two Throwbot 2 Kits, each containing a Throwbot 2 Robot (TB2) and an Operator Control Unit 3, for the Police Department's Crime Impact Unit's Fugitive Apprehension Investigations Detail. The TB2 is an updated robot equipped with a more precise camera and audio listening capabilities. The system enhances safety for the public and minimizes the risk of a critical incident with suspects. The TB2 affords the opportunity to accomplish multiple tasks within a tactical operation while physically displacing officers from inside a structure or hazardous area, thereby increasing the safety of all those involved. The camera system of the TB2 allows the operator to peer into locations that otherwise would require an officer to physically inspect inside a structure, such as bedrooms, attic/crawl spaces, and under beds.
