To reduce police misconduct during face-to-face interactions, minimizing such encounters is key. Integrating smart technologies like robotics into policing reform can enhance objectivity, but ethical use is crucial to prevent new forms of abuse. This study explores global perspectives of both the risks and benefits of deploying robocop technology within legal and ethical boundaries. The study proposes guidance for model protocols and regulations to address three core ethical values: responsible use, accountability, and openness. By addressing both technological potential and ethical concerns, the study aims to support the promulgation of robocop-related legal regulations that balance rapidly advancing innovation in modern law enforcement with ethics.
