December 19, 2025 - Hershey, PA
The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) officially unveiled its newly constructed, state-of-the-art horse stable at the PSP Academy in Hershey, marking the first completed structure in a comprehensive project to upgrade and modernize the Academy's 65-year-old training facilities. "The unveiling of our new stable marks an important milestone in updating the Academy's facilities," said Colonel Christopher Paris, Commissioner of the PSP. "This investment not only enhances the care and safety of our horses, but also strengthens the training environment for our Mounted Unit and cadets. It reflects our commitment to preserving tradition while preparing for the future of law enforcement in Pennsylvania." The 21,000-square-foot stable accommodates up to 30 horses in a modern, well-designed environment. Each spacious stall offers ample room for horses to turn, lie down, and move comfortably, promoting their safety and well-being. The horses graze across more than 50 acres of newly developed pasture-much of it visible to travelers on East Hersheypark Drive-offering a scenic reminder of PSP's proud equestrian tradition.Speakers Include:Sgt.
