EL MONTE -- All the hard work paid off. The El Monte Mounted Police recently won the team competition at the California Mounted Officers Association's eighth annual Memorial Trail Trials held in San Juan Capistrano.
The Metropolitan Police Department is exercising good judgment in utilizing the valuable horse-mounted unit as a law enforcement tool for community policing and proactive patrol along with the effort to quell gang shootings ("Spurring a new strategy," Metropolitan, Thursday).

Heading in the opposite direction of most cities that have sent their horse mounted police programs off into the sunset, Colonna wants to bring equestrian patrols to downtown Long Beach as an answer to security concerns on Pine Avenue.
When Congress hastily dismantled the U. S. Capitol Police Horse- Mounted Unit after its short existence of 14 months, it is obvious they were shortsighted in their judgment concerning the benefit of such a unit ("Police official's son attacked on Capitol Hill," Briefly, Metropolitan, Thursday).

Police in Fayette County are on the hunt for as many as five men - - possibly with backaches -- who stole an 8-foot-tall, 800-pound, mounted grizzly bear from the second-floor of a Uniontown bar. The bear was shot in Russia 10 years ago, mounted and shipped to the Eagle's Nest on Morgantown Street as a gift, said John El- Ayazra, owner of the bar and restaurant.
OAK BAY, New Brunswick - A 50-year-old man shot his common-law wife Saturday then called police to report the shooting before turning the gun on himself in this Canadian hamlet located near the international border crossing at Calais, Maine.
