Using some abstract device that comes out of nowhere and can also injure the criminal, for negotiation, is an open invitation for escalation. There is a reason why human negotiators use normal human communication tools (ie phone or megaphone) to deescalate the situation.

This is a device to use when traditional negotiation techniques fail, and/or to find out the condition/location of the suspect for medical attention, or prior to breaching when all else fails. It's another tool designed to keep people safe (both good guys and bad). As an aside, I think you've read far too deeply into titles. Nobody emphisizes the "human" title, because there's literally no other way to negotiate. In fact, their actual titles are often Hostage Negotiator or Crisis Negotiator. This isn't CSI Miami nor Law and Order.
