COURSE DESCRIPTION

 

40-Hour Basic Mounted Law Enforcement and Civilian Posse Course, # 2018-2

 

Suncoast Equine's Mounted Law Enforcement Training Programs is conducting its popular 40-hour Basic Mounted Law Enforcement and Civilian Posse Course at their facility in Webster, Florida, February 19th thru February 23rd, 2018.  This course is intended for law enforcement officers and civilians who are new to mounted law enforcement service. The curriculum consists of 40+ hours of classroom instruction, as well as practical training both on and off horseback. This course will satisfy the basic mounted training prerequisite of most law enforcement agencies and civilian equestrian support organizations.

 

All participants who attend the entire course will be presented with a Certificate of Attendance, but only those who successfully pass the final written examination and practical assessments will be presented with a Certificate of Proficiency.  

​

All instruction is supervised by graduates of the University of Louisville - Southern Police Institute's Mounted Law Enforcement Instructor Course. Participation in this course is by advance registration only.  To reserve your place in this class, it is recommend that you register early. 

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND


This course is intended for law enforcement officers and civilians (18 and older) who are new to mounted law enforcement or civilian equestrian support service. This training is also extended to individuals who would like to prepare themselves and their horses for a career in mounted law enforcement or become a member of their local civilian Posse. Although helpful, participants need not have any prior equestrian experience.  This course is considered by some to be somewhat physically challenging.  Participant should be in reasonably good health and without any physical or medical condition that could be worsened by the activities of the class, or that might otherwise create a risk to the participant or others.  Students should be able to communicate clearly and effectively.

 

TUITION AND FEES

 

We understand that agency budget restrictions and personal finances in today's economy can often interfere with training needs.  We here at Suncoast Equine believe that your safety and the safety of the public should not be compromised simply because of financial limitations.  Through good fiscal management and eliminating unnecessary overhead, Suncoast Equine is able to provide affordable, professional mounted police training without compromising the quality of that training.  The tuition for this course is as follows:

$425 if paid before midnight, February 12, 2018
$450 if paid on or after February 12, 2018

 

Advanced payment in full or a government purchase order will reserve your place in the class.

HORSES

 

We recommend that the horse you bring to the training, gaited or non-gaited, be the same horse you will be working with for mounted duties.  We realize, however, that this might not be practical for all students.  Suncoast Equine will provide a horse for you to use during the training if needed.  Call for availability and pricing.

All horses arriving for the course must be accompanied by proof of a current negative Coggins test.  If your horse is travelling from out of State, you will also be required to obtain and present a valid Certificate of Veterinary Inspection.  Suncoast Equine reserves the right to turn away any horse that is not accompanied by the above require documents, appears to be unhealthy, or that may be considered dangerous or destructive.
