About GMP

Mounted unit

What we do
The GMP mounted unit is one of the busiest in the country. We work 365 days a year and cover the whole of the UK. The team is made up of specialist police officers, horses, grooms and trainers.

We target crime hotspots and control major public events like football matches and demonstrations. Horses are also used to search inaccessible areas for missing or wanted people.

Use these webpages to get to know us better. Meet the horses, find out about horse training, watch videos of the team in action and experience a typical day in the life of a mounted officer.
