The mission of the Long Beach Mounted Police, as a non-profit organization, is to provide continued support of the equine world through education and demonstrations of good horsemanship, to participate in parades representing the City of Long Beach and the Long Beach Police Department. Educating young people about horsemanship patience, discipline and horse sense is a common theme for the troop. Our riders participate at their own expense and always take the time to visit with and educate the public about horses. One of our most important tasks today is to support the horse world by providing resources through a Scholarship program for serious students entering equine veterinarian programs.
