The robotic canines are a being relaunched after a first attempt in 2021 (to which the public did not take kindly to). The dogs were criticized for having the ability to patrol streets alone and invading privacy.
Keeping the the initial controversy in mind, the 2023 program relaunch includes some adjustments. The newest version of the spot dogs will only be deployed to specific harmful situations. In dangerous instances like bomb threats or stand-offs, the robotic dogs and its built-in camera will be deployed to scope out the scene before sending out human officers.
