Horse Patrol Unit

A Horse Patrol Unit is a team of trained officers who use horses to perform law enforcement tasks. Their presence is effective in crowds, parks, and urban areas where foot or vehicle patrols might be less efficient. Horses provide officers with better visibility, mobility on uneven terrain, and an approachable presence that can foster community relations. These units are often used for crowd control, patrol in large outdoor spaces, and special events, enhancing police ability to maintain safety and order while engaging with the community in a more accessible manner.
