The Calgary Police Service (CPS) is welcoming a new four-legged member into the fold.
On Monday, police took to their Facebook page to introduce Juno, the most recent addition to the CPS Mounted Unit.
Police said Juno has a dressage background and is still training to become comfortable in an urban environment.
The eight-year-old cross gelding is easy to spot, as he’s the first grey horse to join the unit.
The horse’s name was chosen as a tribute to Canadian veterans who landed at Juno Beach during the Second World War and fought on D-Day on June 6, 1944.
Police said Juno’s light colour is reminiscent of the white sand at Juno Beach.
