U2 Concert   
We were lucky to be able to help out the University of Minnesota PD with this event. Joining us was Minneapolis PD as well.
From left to right: Kay (UofM) on Casey, Andy (SPPD) on Chase, Catie (SPPD) on Jett, Robin (MPD) on Diego, Scott (MPD) on Teak, and Charlie (SPPD) on King. What a motley crew!
About 63,000 people were in the area for the concert. Some quick math says that is 10,500 people per mounted officer.
Rain made its way into the area, but it didn't seem to dampen our spirits much.
    
King is all ears for Bono.
The Claw has landed!
Getting tacked up.
It was a fantastic concert with a great crowd.

About 60 kids from YWCA - Saint Paul participated in this event. Part of their training as junior police officers consisted of a trip to the Saint Paul Mounted Unit's barn at Meadowview Stables in Woodbury on 07/18/2011. We gave a presentation on our role as mounted officers and spoke at length about our horses. The children had a great time and asked alot of wonderful questions.
