When financial challenges threatened the NYPD Mounted Unit in the 1970s, the New York City Police Foundation stepped in. For the next 20 years, the Foundation donated the horses that helped keep the iconic “10-Foot Cop” on patrol.

Today, Mounted Unit officers remain a familiar presence in our parks, at parades, and in our communities. They also play a role in counterterrorism.

Tragically, the losses did not end on 9/11, as we honor the 469 NYPD heroes and all those who have since lost their lives to 9/11-related illnesses.

Their legacy lives on in all who continue to serve and protect our city. Together, we will .
