Horse-mounted GRPD unit to return to downtown Grand Rapids

GRAND RAPIDS (WOOD-AM) - Horse-mounted Grand Rapids police officers will soon make a comeback downtown.

Chief Eric Winstrom says they should be out Friday and Saturday nights.

“People are more likely to come and say hi to an officer that's on a horse versus one that’s sitting in a patrol car,” Sergeant Joy Matthews told WOOD-TV.

Use of the mounted unit was paused during the pandemic.
