Story

“Labors” are robots originally created for industrial work. However, they became popular in construction and engineering, and unfortunately, crimes involving these robots began to rise quickly. To address this growing problem, the Metropolitan Police Department created a special unit – the Patrol Labor Squadron – dedicated to countering Labor-related crime. This is how the “Patlabor” force came to be.
