At the Shreveport Police Department, they are fortunate to have some truly remarkable officers. Members of the D.A.R.E. Unit and Community-Oriented Policing Bureau recently volunteered to become certified in horseback mounted patrol.
Mounted officers play a crucial role in situations like parades and special events, where their high vantage point and ability to close distances quickly make them invaluable. They’re also great for crowd control and engaging with the community.
