Santa Monica, September 6, 2024 - The Santa Monica Police Department’s Mounted Unit was recently seen patrolling Santa Monica Beach, approaching homeless individuals camping there and informing them that camping is not permitted.

The Mounted Unit plays a vital role in maintaining public safety, providing a visible and effective law enforcement presence. Their ability to navigate crowded areas makes them essential in managing the busy beachfront and responding quickly to emergencies.
