Ride.TV Video - 10 Foot Policeman
Horse Week • 4m 28s
The 10 Foot Policeman, as it's affectionately known, offers a unique perspective on community engagement. Perched ten feet above the ground on horseback, officers interact with people in a way that fosters a sense of connection and familiarity. This tradition, deeply rooted in the Western culture and heritage of Fort Worth, Texas, harks back to a time when horses were an integral part of the community. For these officers, it's about more than just patrolling; it's a cherished opportunity to represent law and order in a distinct and honorable way, forging connections and breaking down barriers between police and citizens.
