Meet the NYPD mounted unit patrolling Bay Ridge
Officers on horseback help keep community safe
“A horse is a horse of course, of course,” unless the horse is part of the NYPD Mounted Unit, a program that enables them to help protect the community.
On a sunny Sunday afternoon in Bay Ridge, two mounted police officers were patrolling the area by 86th Street and Shore Road Park. These large and beautifully groomed creatures are part of a borough-wide effort to control crime while keeping watch over parks and recreational areas.
