Mounted unit

Factsheet

When was the Greater Manchester Police mounted unit set up?

What do the grooms do?

How are officers and horses trained?

These are a few of the questions officers at the GMP mounted unit regularly get asked. To answer these questions a series of factsheets have been developed. There are five factsheets:

• The Grooms’ Role
• Stable Routine
• History of the Mounted Unit
• Training of Officers
• Horse Names

The factsheets provide an insight into the work of the police horses within Greater Manchester. If you have a suggestion for a future factsheet please let us know using the feedback form.
