| Subject: | [roatan] Mounted Police |
I have a friend who is a mounted policeman here in New Orleans and a few years back he and 2 other officers were commissioned to go to Roatan and teach the police there how to patrol on horseback.Everything was in place.The horses and saddles and all equiptment .They stayed on the island for about a month and taught them how to do street patrols,beach patrols,crowd control ect.....When I mentioned to Kirk(Officer who went to Roatan) what was going on with the crime in Roatan he could not believe it.He said that someone had spent a hell of a lot of money for them to go there and teach equine police patrol.Anyone know whatever happened to this project that evidently went awry?And why couldn't this be started up again?The presence of an officer on a horse is an excellent deterent to criminals.Also,grass is plentiful on the island and that and a little grain is the only fuel a horse needs.Someone out there must remember this.I want feedback please. http://www.roatanet.com To visit your group on the web, go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/roatan/ roatan- : | |
