Mounted Unit

A mounted unit refers to a team of police officers or military personnel who patrol and perform duties on horseback. These units use trained horses to navigate various terrains, provide better visibility in crowds, and maintain order during events or emergencies. Horses can move quickly and traverse areas that are difficult for vehicles, making mounted units effective for crowd control, search operations, and community engagement. The presence of horses often helps officers connect with the community and manage situations with a calm, approachable approach.
