The New York Police Department is equipping itself with new technology designed to assist its officers with very specific missions. As a result, robot dogs will soon be stepping onto the city streets, as well as new devices tasked with monitoring certain enclosed spaces.

After a first aborted experiment in 2021, the New York Police Department (NYPD) has decided to reinstate Digidog, a variant of the famous four-legged robot Spot developed by Boston Dynamics. According to the authorities, Digidog will be used primarily for dangerous missions that could endanger NYPD officers.
