Israel Police Chief Roni Alsheich had words of praise for the program involving raising foals for the department, a program that began in 2013 as part of the educational curriculum of police studies program in Kfar Noar. These horses are raised in compliance with the special operational needs of the department.
This saves the department work and resources on the one hand while providing the youths working in the stables receive the tools that will assist them in their lives.
Police trends in the youth villages constitute the essence of the perception of the role of the police, as one who sees itself as also responsible for improving the norms of obedience to the law in the State of Israel. The curriculum as part of the police studies program is an integral part of realizing this vision.
During these years, the department attempts to instill social and national values in an intensive framework of study, culture and society. The goal of the program is to create an educational framework in which the emphasis will be placed on the study of democracy, the rule of law, and the ways in which the rule of law systems operate.
