Of the Equine species...
Our City Police Dept. Horse-Mounted Team is getting a new member. Our newest horse (she is called 'Phoenix') will soon join 'Apollo' and 'King Tut'.
"Animals can play a really important law enforcement role, and they also can have a really positive impact in working with the public" ...
Children love police horses so much that it's a special event when they go to visit elementary schools. And many adults walk up to police horses, on warm summer nights, on Broadway, to pat them.
Of course, they are very useful on a practical level. During special events and dismissal times, and sad to say, when too much drinking has gone on and the usual rowdy behavior follows.
One "Nana" (you all know and love) enjoyed going out to see them too!!!!!!!!!! -grin-

By any chance, does your local Police Dept. have a
Horse-Mounted Team?

What a beautiful horse.
We do have bike patrol and horse patrol here and did in Florida as well. We have a few festivals a year (well we did before Covid) and the horse patrol is the best thing for them.
Have a wonderful Weekend my friend!!
We have none that I know of. They'd be excellent for the desert areas between old Mexico and USA along the Rio Grande border.
How cool! She is beautiful. No, we do not have any police horses.
That is such a great idea to have the horses.
We don't even have a police force let along one with horses. Our town is too small. The State Police are 10 miles down the road.
No mounted patrol officers here. Sadly!
No horse mounted police here, we aren't big enough and have too much country. But what a great addition those horses are.
Mounted Police are rarely seen here, unfortunately. I think they look wonderful :)
What a great looking horse. Our city does not have any horses with the police force, sad to say.
We have none that I know of. Wait, during street festivals there are CCPD on horseback. They'd be excellent for the desert areas between old Mexico and USA along the Rio Grande border.
None here. We have to call state police if needing help. They are several miles away. I have been a "horse person" all of my life and have owned many. Sure do miss riding in the parades and teaching horsemanship to 4-H'ers. Miss horses now but can say I was there.
None here, we do have bike patrols in the better weather. Bigger cities have mounted police and of course, Ottawa Ontario has the Royal Mounted Police in their red ceremonial uniforms.
Phoenix is a beauty, They indeed positive impact on us, our dept. had horses at one time, but for some reason they are no longer in service.
Thanks for sharing.

Well if we do, I have never seen them and don't know anything about it! On second thought, I think I have seen mounted police in Columbia a time or two, but it has been a long while. What fun to see the horses walk by! I'm pretty sure kids of all ages enjoy that. I love to see horses; I just don't want to ride one, haahaa xoxo
