  Speaker 1: was to kill white police officers, opened fire Thursday night
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: in downtown Dallas, leaving five officers dead seven wounded before
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the police killed him with a remote controlled explosive that
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: was delivered by a robot. Here to tell us more
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: about this is Derek Parks. He is the president and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the chief executive of Metropolitan Protective Services Bay Suston, Lanham, Maryland.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Derek Parks, thanks for being with us, Thanks for having
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: me tell people a little bit about Metropolitan Protective Services
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and this use of remote controlled robots to deliver explosive
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: devices in these kinds of situations. Okay, Well, Metropolity Protective
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Services were a uniformed guards service company that provides uh
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: physical protection and remote protection for a lot of government
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: facilities around d C and Maryland and Virginia and also abroad.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But more specifically about the the robots in which the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: police officers used is called the mock robots, which stands
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: for Multifunctioning Angle remote control Robots. This is the generic
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: robots you generally see, UM you allway may see him
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: in a movie or generally you'll see him along with
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the hostage negotiations or the bomb squad that generally use
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: these kind of robot to deploy to investigate matters that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: they may think a little that's a little more dangerous
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: for human contact or for any kind of canine to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: respond to sale. Send in a robot that usually have
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a some kind of CCTV hooked up where they can
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: remotely see what's going on or maybe deliver uh a
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: package or phone or things that I make to too
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: would be suspect. But Derek U, I think it's also
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: very important for people to know that, you know, you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: worked for many years as a police officer yourself, Uh,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you were an assistant police chief. So undoubtedly when you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: saw the events unfolding last night, it could it's you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: we all shocked feeling it, but certainly for you, um,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: for the whole science. Now are the whole vocation of policing?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Are we? Are we in the midst of some kind
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of big shift? We bring up the robot because it's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the first time that um A robot has been used
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: in this way in civilian life, right, Uh, God Master,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: as suspect, it's happened a little bit in military. Right.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: So you know in terms of the psychology, in terms
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of the needs for police officers. Now, uh, where where
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: are we? Where are we heading? I think we are
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: definitely heading in it and in down the path in
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: which if we can remove the human threat and and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and deal with the situation without entering any police officers
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: or civilian casualties. I think that's the only way we
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: have to go. Uh. That has to be the direction
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that we had in this particular situation where you have
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a person that was hell bent on killing as many
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: police officers as he possibly could, and he went down
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to that demonstration with that in mind. He put on
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: bulletproof vest, feet on this up with guns and even
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I think they showed some small footage of the way
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: he actually attacked the police officers and shot him, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: in cold blood. Uh. This guy had military training and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: he was held bent on killing as many police officers
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: as possible in this particular tirade. So I think that
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the chief absolutely did the right thing and calling in
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the tactics that were used to neutralize the situation. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: as we moved forward and as individuals get a little
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: more smarter and sharper, we have to look at what
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the future holds available for us to use, uh in
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: dealing with these kinds of situations. So if robots and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and and drones something that we may have to really
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: take a hard look at, and a new way of
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: policing and and this century, and that's just what it is.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Just to give you this note that Taser International the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: shares are up nearly six percent today, They're up nearly
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: fifty eight a sent so far this year. Of course,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Taser making uh those Taser of weapons and stunt guns,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: but also making the photographic and video systems that can
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: be warned by police officers. Do you believe that that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: is just going to be a requirement of all security
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: officers to wear some kind of video apparatus. Well, I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: think that the video I think that is a near
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a real possibility in the future as we noticed that
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: now video cameras cameras in general have become more prevalent
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: around the city. And I just think that it allows
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: everyone to uh use exercise good judgment while they're being recorded.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you know the cameras rolling, when you
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: know that you're being recorded, you may behave slightly different
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that could be for law enforcement and that could be
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: for would be suspects. So I think that, um that
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good move that everyone uh that
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: does that deals will law enforce him and do with
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: some kind of recording device while dealing with the public
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and dealing with potential christy situations. Derek Parks, thank you
