MEET MAXIMUS & RUDY

Maximus and Rudy are the newest members of our Mounted Patrol Unit. They were certified a couple weeks ago, and will join their riders and fellow equine officers as they patrol the city's outdoor recreational areas and help with large events. The Mounted Patrol unit was established in the late 1800's to help patrol large areas, Denver Stockyards and other open spaces. However, by 1932, motorcycles and automobiles put the Mounted patrol out of business. With the exception of a couple horses that were used by park police, the others were sold at auction. By 1935, not a single horse was in service. Fifty years later, an "ad-hoc" Mounted Patrol was pulled together by volunteers for a special event, and it was such a huge success that the unit was re-established in 1985.
.

Please join us in welcoming Maximus and Rudy to our family!

Wishing you all a safe Independence Day. . . To th

This morning, hundreds of Coloradans showed what it meant to stand as #onecommUNITY. Together we walked the streets of @cityofdenver cleaning up from the previous night. We picked up trash, scrubbed the memorials, painted over profanity, pressure washed the concrete, we talked, we cried, we vowed to listen to each other, to do better together.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Ensuring that the @denverpolice have the proper resources to combat the sights, sounds, and stressors of their job is of the utmost importance to the #denverpolicefoundation.
