Dear Sirs and Madam: 

I recently have had the pleasure of encountering the KW Mounted Police Unit riding their beautiful horses around the neighborhood.   Our home is across from
HOB School, and I have to think that the children must enjoy seeing the horses as much as I do; and that getting to know our officers as equastrians, familiar with, and obviously fond of animals is an image of law enforcement that has to be beneficial to the Department.   It says "serve and protect" instead of "search and arrest."  They invite and promote communication between the citizens and the police which is friendly and educational.  Please, please, keep the mounties coming....it's a lovely sound on our streets, like that of ice cream trucks, it takes me back to a happier and simpler time. 
 
With best regards,
Maria Betancourt
