They assist with crowd management during events or demonstrations, respond to incidents, and help deter crime in areas that may be difficult to access by car. Officers also dedicate time to the care and training of their horses, ensuring both animal and rider are prepared for duty. Collaborative teamwork with other officers, event organizers, and the public is essential for the success of their mission.
