The
Police Horse is an effective part of modern law
enforcement. Increasing numbers of law
enforcement agencies are establishing mounted
units each year. Horses are by far the most
effective crowd control tool available due to
the height advantage, high visibility and
excellent maneuverability. They are valuable in
patrolling areas inaccessible by vehicles and
can cover far greater area than foot patrols.
Perhaps most importantly, the Police Horse is an
excellent public relations tool. Mounted
Officers create a sense of security simply by
their presence and frequently enjoy a special
relationship with the citizens that they serve.
Establishing and building upon these
relationships is key to the concept of community
policing. The Macomb County Sheriff's Mounted
Division is made up of experienced equestrians,
dedicated to community service who share a
common interest in mounted law enforcement and
organized riding.
Before being accepted as a fully deputized
member of the Department, each member must
successfully complete an extensive training and
qualification program. Typically this program
takes about six months, during which time the
probationary members become proficient in the
use of their horse in crowd and traffic control,
become qualified marksmen and train in law
enforcement techniques. The deputies and their
mounts train together, learning to perform their
assignments as a team.
With public safety as a foremost concern,
deputies and their mounts train regularly in
such skills as mounted drill, crowd control,
official security, street patrols and mounted
law enforcement techniques. The horse and rider
are regularly put through a confidence course
that exposes them to many of the obstacles they
may typically encounter. They must be routinely
able to cope with sirens, gun shots, fireworks,
flares and all manner of street distractions.
Exposure to these situations schools the horse
to cope with these encounters and prepares the
deputy to maintain safe control in public.
In addition to the Division's own training
program, the deputies and their mounts
participate in special training events in
conjunction with other agencies. Members also
participate in mounted police training and
competitions at the local through national
level. Although the mounted deputies are
thoroughly trained in various law enforcement
duties, a primary role of the Mounted Division
is community service and public relations. The
Division takes part in numerous public events
each year, participating in parades, fairs,
festivals, charity functions and memorial
services. Through participation in these events,
mounted deputies serve as ambassadors for the
community, projecting a positive image of law
enforcement and generating goodwill among the
public.
The Mounted Division has maintained a fine
record of law enforcement excellence and
community service. In its recent history the
Division has provided mounted security for three
United States Presidents, the Governor of
Michigan and numerous political leaders and
noted personages. Through their law enforcement
work and community relations efforts, Mounted
Officers provide an important public service and
are a great asset to the citizens they protect.
The Mounted Division is proud of its traditions
and its long association with the community. It
is an organization in which Macomb County can
truly take pride. |
