We’re excited to introduce the Livermore Police Department’s new Mounted Police Unit (MPU). You might spot these officers and their trusted horses at various community events, bringing a whole new level of public engagement to our city.
The MPU is about building stronger connections with our community. Here are some key benefits of this unit:
Community Engagement: Mounted officers are highly approachable, making them a great resource for public outreach at events, parades, and more.
Reaching Difficult Areas: Whether it’s parks, large open spaces, or hard-to-access areas, our mounted officers can go where traditional patrol units can’t, providing crucial support for search and rescue or crime prevention.
Enhanced Presence: With their stature, mounted units provide a commanding yet approachable presence, helping foster a healthy relationship between police and the community.
Our officers are undergoing specialized training to ensure they’re equipped to serve in a variety of situations—from community outreach to support in critical operations. If you see us around town, be sure to stop by and say hello!
