“on display…

 

….on April 25, 2013, the Virginia Beach Police Department’s Special Operations Division graduated five officers of the Mounted Patrol Academy. In training, the officers learned equalization and sensory riding skills along with how to enforce and apprehend criminals while mounted on their horse. Each officer and horse is carefully matched according to his or her personalities and temperaments to form a good partner relationship. The graduation was the first one in several years.”
