Our Police Scotland horses and officers train every week and work on different exercises in order to be prepared for any situation. Check out our video, which captures a typical training day and goes behind-the-scenes at the mounted unit base to show you some of the training involved in ensuring our horses are ready for their duties around Scotland.

Today 216 new police officers took part in their #PassingOutParade after 11 weeks of intense training at Police Scotland Head Quarters, Tulliallan. Chief Constable Iain Livingstone welcomed our newest recruits and reminded them of the challenges they will face as police officers as well as the importance of #KeepingPeopleSafe. Well done to all our new officers and best of luck in their new careers 🎉 | Police Scotland
