Normally the police would want non lethal options first and foremost. A bot that is only good at using a gun and cannot subdue a perp is basically the same as using military gear on your regular officer kit.

Friends, I see a lot of people offering ideas, several technologies are interesting, but let's remember that the MC is trying to be discreet, ok, he doesn't have strong support, if he starts to launch certain things that you suggested he will be in the crosshairs of large corporations , not to mention that he is already watched by the shield, if he doubts the FBI and other agencies too, then let's take it easy, the MC is learning not to be too hasty and hasty, let's wait for him to have power and influence both in the country and then in the world , then he will be able to think about advancing civil and even military technology further.
I love everything about this! Seeing the police get a leg up is awesome, hopefully they will no longer be cannon fodder when they are up against supers.

I look forward to how the author handles that scenario.
