It’s not just science fiction anymore.
Several real-life “RoboCops” are hitting the streets of New York City, as Mayor Eric Adams and the NYPD unveiled the latest technological upgrade for New York’s Finest.
“To safeguard our modern city and a forward-looking world it is essential that our officers are equipped with the tools, training and technology necessary to do that job safely and effectively,” Sewell said. “The NYPD has always stepped forward. In every era, we have maximized public and officer safety through emerging technology. And that approach continues today.”
The mechanical canine will not only be able to fit into places and withstand conditions humans cannot, NYPD officials also promised that it will keep victims, officers, and suspects safer during these situations.Robot dogs were first spotted in 2021 under the DeBlasio administration but were quickly retired due to public outcry over what people, at the time, deemed unsettling and disturbing.
