The University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest and the Hungarian Riot Police have signed a new five-year cooperation agreement to support practical veterinary training and the effectiveness of law enforcement work.
This collaboration strengthens the relationship between the two institutions and brings direct benefits to both parties. According to the agreement, the police’s mounted unit can use the university’s cross-country riding track—equipped with fixed obstacles—located at the Dóra Major in Üllő free of charge. In exchange, the police will also provide service horses free of charge for educational purposes to the university’s students. The agreement clearly defines the conditions for use: the Riot Police may use the track up to four times a month on pre-agreed dates, and the university may include the service horses in its training twice a year, also on pre-agreed dates.
This partnership is a prime example of how two seemingly different public institutions can support one another when their shared goal is high-quality, practice-oriented education and service to society. It is particularly important for the university that its students gain up-to-date, real-world knowledge—something the Riot Police will now support with their professional resources over the next five years.
