Kuala Lumpur, 15th June 2025 - Specialised training for the police's mounted unit has been mooted by the nation's top cop to support equine-assisted therapy for children with autism at the Pengaman Polis Diraja Malaysia Autism Centre.
Inspector General of Police (IGP), Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, an avid horse rider said, he had witnessed the positive effects of such therapy on children's development and believes the mounted unit can play a meaningful role.
“My intent is for our mounted police officers to undergo special courses in equine-assisted therapy.
“I've been riding for over a decade and have seen first-hand how this form of therapy benefits children, especially in spurring mental and physical development," he said.
He shared an anecdote about his orderly's autistic child, who experienced noticeable improvement after just six sessions.
“The child began to understand how to get out of bed properly and use brushes,” he said during his speech at the centre's Autism Day celebration at the Police Training Centre yesterday.
