Summary
[edit]DescriptionArgyll DSC07791C.jpg |
English: Argyll, a beautiful, intelligent and calm horse, always a hit with kids and parents alike, was the youngest of the Hamilton Mounted Patrol Unit. Tragically after an off duty accident days later Argyll passed away. He will be sorely missed. Sincerest condolences to the officers of the MPU.
R I P Gore Park Hamilton, Ontario Canada The Mounted Patrol Unit (MPU) was established in January of 2010 as an operational police unit. The officers receive a Basic Equitation riding course from the Toronto Police Service where they are educated on horsemanship, riding skills and roadwork. The mandate of the MPU is to offer high visibility policing, crowd management and active crime prevention in the City of Hamilton. The MPU also works closely with the Police Services’ Action Team to respond to areas identified by hotspot analysis that require focused proactive patrol. The priorities of the MPU are to heighten the Service’s ability to accomplish: crime prevention managing entertainment districts conducting search and rescue providing park and trail safety The MPU consists of 5 horses, 4 full time officers and 4 spare officers in order to ensure year round coverage. The Unit deploys 8 shifts per week, covering; day, afternoon and night shifts. The horses are all Percheron and Percheron-cross geldings which stand between 17'3 and 18'1 hands high (about 6 feet tall at their withers). The horses names are all historically significant to the City of Hamilton: Lincoln - In memory of The Honourable Lincoln Alexander, former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario Griffin - After the Griffin House in Dundas, part of the Underground Railroad RHLI - Royal Hamilton Light infantry, pronounced Riley. We support our troops! MacNab - Sir Allan MacNab fought in the War of 1812 as a 14 year old boy, lived at Dundurn Castle and was former Premier of the Province of Canada Argyll - Named after The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise’s), Argyll honours the close connection between the Hamilton Police Service and the local regiment.
