Friends of the Manchester Mounted Patrol

Our Mission: The Manchester Mounted Patrol is dedicated to fostering strong connections between law enforcement and the community through approachable, visible, and effective policing.

The Friends of the Manchester Mounted Patrol operates as a non-profit. This is an important effort in our community that allows officers to access places a cruiser may not be able to go, such as wooded trails, sidewalks or small alleyways. Just like a walking beat, it allows officers to be out of a cruiser and directly involved with the public. Being up on a horse also allows a different vantage point so that we can see a bigger picture, while also being easier for the public to see us. The Mounted Patrol maintains all functions of a Law Enforcement Officer.
