Mounted Police

Mounted police are police who patrol on horseback. They continue to serve in metropolitan areas, where their day-to-day function may be largely picturesque or ceremonial. Such patrols are rare otherwise, though mounted police may be employed for specialized duties ranging from patrol of parks and wilderness areas, where police cars would be impractical or noisome, to riot duty, where the horse serves to intimidate those whom it is desired to disperse. The most famous mounted police force is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The RCMP now uses standard police methods and does not use any horses operationally; however, horses are used in the Musical Ride, an RCMP pageant.
