mounted patrol
Officers on horseback
A mounted patrol is a law enforcement or security unit that operates on horseback.
Police mounted patrols are common in urban areas for crowd control, park surveillance, and public events—the elevated position offers visibility and presence that vehicles can't match.
The mounted patrol moved through the festival grounds.
Military and border units also conduct mounted patrols, sometimes on horses, sometimes in vehicles.
