equestrian law enforcement

Equestrian law enforcement refers to the use of mounted police officers who patrol and maintain order using horses. They are trained to handle crowd control, respond quickly to incidents, and provide a visible presence in communities, especially at events or in busy areas. The horses help officers access difficult terrain and allow for better communication with the public. This form of policing combines traditional law enforcement skills with expertise in horsemanship, enhancing community engagement and promoting safety through a mobile, approachable force.
