JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office just enlisted its newest member to join the agency’s Mounted Unit — a police horse with no name.

JSO is torn between the names: Angus and Mac

“We think our Mounted Unit officers were craving some cheeseburgers when they brainstormed names,” JSO said in the Facebook post.

So, they turned to the community to break the tie because this healthy, noble steed can’t hit the street without a name.

Check out their post on Facebook.com to drop your vote in the comments.

Then, they will tally up the votes and announce the winning name next week.
