Remote bomb detection robot most popular at Dana Point Emergency Exposition

DANA POINT   Despite four helicopters, a SWAT vehicle and the always admired search and rescue bloodhounds, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department bomb squad robot was the most popular piece of first-responder equipment viewed by thousands Sunday, Aug. 6 during the city’s annual Emergency Expo.
The remote device operates on its own set of tracks and carries a weapon. It can be deployed by bomb squad deputies to check out suspicious packages without risking human lives.
