If you have ever been to a major event in Arlington, chances are you’ve seen the officers and horses in our Arlington Police Department Mounted Unit. The Unit, with its depth of experience and rigorous training, is a voluntary program for APD officers, and adds a unique dimension to the force. It’s part of Arlington’s history, and having them at special events not only provides the necessary patrolling, but enhances the visitors’ overall experience. This month, APD Reserve Officer Tim Henz will tell us more about the Arlington Police Department’s Mounted Unit, and provide more information about the “Shield A Badge With A Prayer” program.
