The robot dog is fitted with several cameras – to detect people and weapons – and a loudspeaker, which allows officers to speak to a suspect remotely.
The force’s firearms training team will carry out a trial over the next three months to see if it could be sent into dangerous situations instead of police officers.
The results of the trial will be fed back to the Home Office with recommendations on how it could be used in frontline policing.
If deemed a success, the force says it could enter operational service across the country by 2026.

Please equip with tear-gas canisters and confetti cannons
