  1. Training Program Mission

Uniformed members of the Southlake Mounted Patrol (SMP) exhibit the characteristics and skills needed to safely assist the Southlake Department of Public Safety (DPS) to patrol the Walnut Grove and Bob Jones Park trail system, and promote the use of horse and rider within the community. The primary goal of the SMP member training program is to ensure safety. All SMP members must fully understand that the success of the SMP program depends on the personal safety of the members and the community. If we become injured, or cause an injury, we will be unable to assist the DPS or the public, and the negative public reaction may result in the demise of the entire program.

 

The purpose of the SMP in total is to serve the Southlake DPS in any reasonable capacity that facilitates and promotes the use of horse and rider. Uniformed SMP members conduct courtesy patrols and at no time are authorized by the DPS to enforce rules.

 

  1. Requirements

Anyone interested in SMP should discuss the requirements with the Training officer, or a Board member to determine if this is something they would like to pursue. The following steps are required and must be documented by the Training officer.

 

2.1 �Attend a membership meeting and basic orientation

2.2 �Complete forms for DPS background check, and Liability Release.

2.3 �Complete qualifying check ride

2.4 �Complete DPS Volunteer Training

2.5 �Training Officer recommendation

2.6 �Board Approval

 

  1. Approvals

Upon successful completion of the above steps, the training officer will submit a written recommendation to the Board of Directors for review. The Board will then approve, deny, or request additional training or information be completed. With majority Board approval, the SMP member will be assigned a uniform, and will begin to log patrol time. The SMP Training officer will maintain a copy of all completed training documents, and update the official contact list provided to the DPS.

 

  1. Review

All members must be reviewed annually by the board and recommended for patrol of the coming year. The review document will be completed by the Training Officer and will include: Training, Attendance, Patrol hours logged, and any other pertinent information.
