Say neigh to park crime

Posted

To the editor,

Reading about the recent spate of crimes in Van Cortlandt Park (“Crimes prompt call for stronger patrols,” June 9) reminded me of the many years I kept a horse at the stable there (which, incidentally, prompted me to move to Riverdale). I was able to roam the far reaches of the park without incident. I have since traded the horse for a bicycle.

However, I also remember when we had four permanently assigned NYC police officers and their four mounts at the stable.

Perhaps a mounted patrol can be reintroduced to counter this recent troubling trend.
