Supporting the LMPD Mounted Patrol Unit

LMPD’s Mounted Patrol Unit, which consists of eight teams of officers and horses, plays a vital role in connecting with the community, making thousands of citizen interactions each year. Whether patrolling local neighborhoods or providing support at events like the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, the Mounted Patrol helps enhance public safety by assisting with crowd management, deterring crime and addressing quality of life issues. Its visible presence in targeted areas fosters a sense of security and reassurance for all citizens.
