The recruits of Class 03-2024 received an unforgettable visit from the LAPD Metropolitan Division Mounted Unit and the SWAT team. These elite units took on the role of guest speakers, providing invaluable insights and fostering a sense of inspiration among the young recruits.
These officers shared stories from their daily duties, highlighting the unique challenges and responsibilities of policing on horseback. The discussion focused on the importance of the bond between the officers and their horses, emphasizing on trust, respect and empathy as foundational elements, not just in their unit, but in all forms of law enforcement.
