Those robotic canines are rather sinister-looking. Other than that, if you watch the video-clip about security preparations in the Mexican city of Monterrey, ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, I am not sure it is going to reassure you if you intended to go there: it looks as if they are preparing for all-out war, no more and no less.
We have come to accept the militarization of the police, by the way, and not only in Mexico, where drug-cartel-related violence is off the scale. This is a good illustration.

The BBC's Will Grant got a first-hand look at security preparations in Monterrey, Nuevo León, a city in northern Mexico, ahead of the 2026 Fifa World Cup. Mexico is set to host 13 matches during the tournament, with the city of Monterrey hosting four of them.
Monterrey's police department will have 11 helicopters, 2 Black Hawks, and 90 armoured vehicles for the World Cup. Robotic dogs will also patrol the streets, while personnel in a central command centre will be monitoring activity across Nuevo León.
