Description
For $58,300.00 in payment authority to purchase a robotic multi-mission arm and remote burn safe system for the Phoenix Police Department (PPD). The PPD’s Special Assignments Unit is responsible for handling all potentially violent incidents, particularly involving barricaded subjects. Armed subjects often barricade and hide inside structures and fail to comply with officer’s commands to surrender. The multi-mission arm and remote burn safety system will be mounted on the previously purchased Vantage Robot.

The remote capabilities and proven success of these attachments are essential to provide maximum safety to officers, suspects, and the public.
