SWAT Monkey!
Wow! I hope it works for SWAT! I can see that as the robot for EOD does wonders, the monkey might do the same for them as well. The EOD people will then have a real living "Leroy."
Most of our EOD robots were armed with shotguns and water cannons. We always were available to our SWAT unit for checking out hostage/barricade situations. Although we never used the shotgun (12 Ga Remington 1100) to dispatch a suspect, we were always prepared to do so. I think it has been done at least once by a LE agency here in the USA. (Robot eliminates hostage taker remotely.)
Now, do we give the money a shotgun or pistol? I'd say a pistol would be right sizewise, but do we really want a money armed with a pistol shooting at people? I think I rather stick with the robot myself.
Come to think of it though, I had a couple of people on my SWAT team for a short time that would make the monkey look good to me.
