mounted patrols
Officers on horseback
Mounted patrols are law enforcement or security units that travel on horseback rather than in vehicles.
Police mounted patrols are common in urban areas for crowd control, park surveillance, and public events—the elevated vantage point and imposing presence of horses proving useful where cars cannot easily go.
