Our group also donates a lot of time helping groom horses for events, setting up booths at local festivals, and interacting with all the pieces of the puzzle needed to help the Unit support our community. This includes the staff of the County Equestrian Center where the horses are housed, the County staff for events, the New Castle County Police Department, and of course the Unit itself…. And we love every minute of it!
We urge everyone to learn about your local Mounted Unit and support its efforts. We sincerely believe that the horses create an invaluable connection between law enforcement and the community and have seen the difference in New Castle County. If you would like to follow and support our efforts, please follow us on Facebook (FriendsMountedPatrolNCCDE), Instagram (#clydesdale_cops) or our website at clydesdalecops.org. You can also contact us through Facebook Messenger or at [email protected].
