CITY'S ONLY POLICE HORSE... ..-OWNED BY SGT. WILLIAMS Big Louis By ROBERT McDOUGALL Of The Oshawa Times Big I Louis is an intelligent hy "senses: "are keener than humans, he runs faster and he weighs as much as eight 200- pound men. Big Louis is a horse But he's not just an ordinary horse, He's Oshawa's only po- lice horse Owned by patrol sergeant Alan Williams, 82 Park rd. n., who has been with the force 14 years, Big Louis was purchased three years ago for the modest sum of $500 Now the big quadruped -- he _ stands 17 hands or five feet ~- couldn't three | times amount, his owner says. Sincé his arrival here Big Louis has been seen on several occasions but this is the first year the police commissioners have authorized his use on regular patrols. However he must still be rid- den on Sgt. Williams' own time and kept at the officer's per- sonal expense ROOM, BOARD "It costs in the neighborhood of $1,400 a year to keep him," Sgt. Williams said, "But it's well worth it," Big Louis is part standard _brand and _Dart Mucklenburg pe eight inches that bought for ar (Geriian ~ Greed) hie oom and board at "the. z eK -- -- ranch on Rit- Szi: n riding for over 20 years and is a veteran of the Royal Mili- tary Police (mounted), London detachment, says there are sev- eral advantages for using a horse to patrol with. "When on horseback, a rider on a horse such as Big Louis is nearly 11 feet off the ground," Sgt. Williams said, "From this vantage point he can see better than an officer on foot and if there is any trouble he can get there faster," he said. A bores he said doesn't emit deadly fumes familiar to motor- cycles and can go places a squad car can't. "When if comes to getting stuck Big Louis has no prob- lems," he said. "He's even equipped with borium corked shoes to prevent him from slip- ping on wet streets or icy pave- ment.' Sgt. Williams mentioned the use made of horses by the To- ronto police department who have about 75 animals on full time duty. "They are used to ticket cars, participate in parades and bg rol parks and city hall grounds," he said. Jan Drygala, a six-year vete- fan of the Yollsn calvary, nas been responsible for training Big Louis A police horse has to receive to cope with 'barking dogs, roar- ing cars and the general tur- moil of city traffic. "He especially likes chile dren," Sgt. William says. "But I do carry insugance in case there is an accident," This amounts to some $35 @ year for public liability. In the summer months ahead Oshawa residents can look for- ward to seeing Big Louis and Sgt. Williams as they patrol city parks and roads.
