Police horses get saddlebag ads

Police horses in Nottinghamshire will be saddled with advertising in a move to raise money.

The police authority has decided to allow companies to put advertising on horseboxes and logos on saddlecloths.

Councillor John Clarke, chairman of the police authority, said: "This is a way the local community can help out by getting involved with sponsoring the horse division.

"It will be looked at by the lawyers to make sure it is ethically right - but we won't go down the road of putting flashy lights on policemen's helmets or selling ice creams."
