It is one of two devices new to the police force - a four-wheeled remote-controlled robot that can sniff out bombs, security threats and suspicious objects - but its work is done almost exclusively underground in drains.
Officers from SecCom, which is headquartered in Toa Payoh, conduct searches at major security event venues and ensure the safety of guests and important personnel. The vehicles have been deployed at security events such as the May Day Rally, the Shangri-La Dialogue and National Day events. The Home Team Science and Technology Agency , which developed the devices with SecCom, said the analytics software loaded on the computer quickly pinpoints any anomalies detected.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Winston Yim, who oversees the SecCom operations involving the robots, said: “Previously, if we need to inspect rooftops, we would have to coordinate to ensure the safety of our officers when going up to each rooftop. This can take hours.
