DAY 61: Milton Keynes and the Mounted Section patrol the rural areas



Throughout last week, the Force’s Mounted section (horses to you and me), provided support to the rural neighbourhood teams.  More commonly used for policing events like football matches, protests in fact any event where a lot of people are likely to be congregating, the horses are a particularly handy resource for tackling rural crime as they are able to patrol hard to reach, remote locations where offences like hare coursing have been known to take place in the past.

The mounted section have also recently launched their own Force Twitter feed. This means you can keep up to date with what the mounted section officers and their horses are getting up to. To follow find their Twitter handle @TVP_Horses.
