Mounted Patrol

Mounted Units are extremely popular in American communities of all sizes. “Everyone loves a horse” is a common phrase and the perfect example of how a Mounted Unit can significantly benefit the Parker Police Department. You can see our Mounted team out for parades, community policing events, crime prevention, park/trail patrols as staffing permits, and assisting with searches of lost and missing persons. Officers on horses are very approachable and strengthen the partnership of the Parker Police Department and our community.

The Parker Police Department Mounted Unit trains and interacts with other mounted units in the metro area. The horse and rider must pass a basic mounted police school and attend monthly training to be part of the team. Parker has always been horse country, and it is part of our heritage. The horses are owned, cared for and the financial responsibility of the Officers who ride them.
