Mounted Patrol Units

Mounted Patrol Units are specialized police teams that use horses to assist in law enforcement. They provide a visible, approachable presence in public events, neighborhoods, and crowded areas. Horses help officers navigate difficult terrains and crowded spaces more effectively than cars or foot patrols. These units also excel in crowd control, community engagement, and search operations. Their training emphasizes teamwork, discipline, and safety for both officers and the public. Overall, mounted patrols enhance police visibility, accessibility, and effectiveness while fostering positive community relationships.
