Move, Robocop! Get out the way, get out the way:

• Vancouver Police Department

According a statement today (September 7) from the department, the 16-tonne, 285-horsepower vehicle will provide an extra level protection for police officers and citizens who face a variety of “high-risk” situations.

The armoured vehicle will be useful when arresting heavily armed suspects, transporting people from harm’s way, or navigating damaged roads during a natural disaster, police say.
