LANCASTER, Pa. — A Lancaster City Police horse is hanging up his saddle after nearly two decades on the job. In his place, two new horses are joining the force and they have some big hooves to fill.
Duke, a 22-year-old Percheron, is a unique, but important veteran of the Lancaster City Police Department. His days on the job are coming to an end and the Mounted Patrol officer is retiring after 18 years on the force.
