Abstrakt: This study explores the perspectives of law enforcement officers (LEOs) on the implementation of communication robots in police work. Through two approaches - open-ended questionnaires (N = 37) and focus group discussions (N = 14) - the research aims to gather LEOs' opinions and attitudes on the potential future use of these robots. The findings reveal a general skepticism among LEOs, who express low trust in communication robots. Despite this, a majority acknowledge that robots could enhance communication effectiveness in policing. The study highlights the need for increased public education and enhanced performance accuracy of robots to address LEOs' concerns and foster greater acceptance of this technology in law enforcement.
