The San Francisco Police Department's mounted unit celebrated 150 years of service Wednesday.
The unit has a long history of serving the city. Some say it’s a popular bridge builder even now as police travel in cars and on motorcycles and use new technology.
"They’re used for everything from parades and field trips, school trips, to regular patrol, regular police work," Sgt. Theresa Sangiacomo said.
