One Detective, three officers, and a civilian PT walk up to a snake..

There's probably a joke in there somewhere, but we were too busy catching the snake to figure it out 😏

🐎Officer Helm officially completed mounted patrol training and is now certified for crowd-control operations.

Mounted patrols are one of those things people think look cool in photos… until they see how effective they actually are during large events and crowded situations. The height advantage gives officers a better view over crowds, horses move through congested areas well, and somehow people suddenly remember how to behave when approached by 1,200 pounds of professionalism.

The training itself is no joke either. It takes a ton of control, communication, and trust between the officer and horse to safely work in loud, chaotic environments full of people, traffic, music, and distractions.

We’re proud of the work Officer Helm put into completing the training!
