For 12 years, Titan served with the Tempe Police Department’s Mounted Unit.

Along the way, he became much more than a police horse. He became a trusted partner, a teacher and a beloved member of the department family.

The Mounted Unit consists of seven horses, officers and a horse specialist.

Titan was a go-to horse for new riders, patiently helping officers build confidence and learn the unique responsibilities of mounted patrol. He also had a special role during memorials and funerals, serving as a riderless horse to honor fallen officers who made the ultimate sacrifice. 

Over the years, Titan also became a familiar face throughout Tempe, helping create the connections between the Mounted Unit and the community.

Titan will return to his previous owner, where he’ll once again be surrounded by the love of his family. There, he’ll enjoy peaceful days, plenty of love and the freedom to simply be a horse.
