Descrição
An all-too-common problem with the police horses is that they defecate on downtown streets and no one cleans up after them. If dogs' owners are responsible for picking up behind them, how are the policemen and policewomen who ride these horses not responsible for cleaning up behind them? There has to be a simple solution here, rather than leaving enormous piles of horse poop all over the street every few blocks, leaving a wicked smell for all of us to experience until enough cars unknowingly drive the piles into the pavement until they are no more.
Please provide the appropriate ordinance this would fall under or bring before the appropriate group to create a new ordinance to fix this. I believe this is a cause all of us downtown would like to get behind, or rather, in front of.

Concur!
There is a simple solution - and one that most mounted patrols around the country use - and it's a 'diaper' that attaches to the horses' tack. Why isn't it used here? It's about time we retire the ponies...and maybe invest in some more motorcycle/traffic enforcement officers...and not a segeway, please!

@ Athenian Oath, let's not get ridiculous, this is about the RPD not cleaning up after their own horses like responsible citizens.

...your name, and your comments, are unacceptable. And I don't even work for the city. Do us a favor - move. Or, better yet, take your leave of humanity. We'd all be better off then with someone like you.

Oops...meant to say 'withOUT someone like you'.
That being said....fix the horse poop...or get rid of them. They don't do us any favors. I'd rather see the money devoted to motorcycle cops (Russ has to love that!), who can actually focus on speeders (I, being one, I must admit), and making our streets safer.

I also like having the horse patrol in Raleigh. Thanks for letting us know how the 'exhaust' is handled!
Keep the horses, RPD.
