Toronto Police have received their newest recruit to the mounted unit today from the Toronto Blue Jays. The handsome eight-year-old thoroughbred-Clydesdale cross has been in training with the unit for the last year, Blue Jay was presented to Chief Blair outside the Rogers Centre by Paul Beeston, CEO of the Blue Jays. Blue Jay was picked out by Constable Harold Williamson, who is a senior trainer with the mounted unit. Mr. Beeston thanked the chief for his service and said Blue Jay would now be a part of the service and was donated in appreciation of the work the police does. In accepting the horse the chief thanked the Blue Jays not only for their gift but also for their partnership over the years with the Toronto Police Service along with providing great entertainment to the people of Toronto. Chief Blair added that Blue Jay would be a valuable part of the unit and would be important in crowd control near the Rogers Centre.
