DHS Introduces Network-Jamming Robot Dogs for Safer Raids

The new robotic units, named NEO, are designed to disable wireless devices and provide real-time audiovisual feedback to officers.

NEO robots can disrupt Wi-Fi networks, disabling security cameras and smart devices.
They offer video and audio capabilities to enhance situational awareness during raids.
The development was motivated by a tragic incident where a suspect used a doorbell camera to ambush FBI agents.
Massachusetts State Police have successfully used similar robots to prevent officer injuries.
Community concerns have led to mixed reactions regarding the deployment of robotic dogs in law enforcement.
