Vision Statement

 

 

Every law enforcement agency in County, City and State agencies in Texas will have the opportunity to be trained to perform with maximum efficiency and effectiveness in response to the human emergencies of lost, injured, and endangered citizens. A system of communications between these agencies will prevent overlaps and gaps in service. With TCLEOSE standardized approved training.

 

 

There are currently 102 mounted units in 254 counties in the state of Texas. Our goal is to provide adequate education standards for all of these units and assist other counties in forming mounted units. We offer the first state directory interconnecting all units in the state to be able to assist each other in an emergency. We have directors to coordinate this on a statewide basis.
