This disclosure introduces methods and devices for robotic police officer assistance, incorporating an articulating spotlight, removable camera, spike strip delivery, and chemical agent dispenser, aiming to enhance officer safety during common police activities by allowing remote operation and minimizing the need for officers to be physically present in dangerous situations. Presented herein are methods and devices for robotic police officer assistance. The device comprises an articulating spotlight, a removeable camera, a spike strip delivery mechanism, and a chemical agent dispenser. The robot is controlled by a police officer so that the actions of the robot can be controlled from a position that is safe for the officer. By directing the robotic device, it is not necessary for an officer to be placed in in a dangerous position to conduct some of the most common police activities. When an officer is not required to put their personal safety on the line during common police activities, serious injury to police officers can be avoided. Also disclosed herein are methods of using the robotic device during police activities or emergencies that would otherwise require an officer to be put in harm's way.
