Foot Patrol

Historically, foot patrols are the oldest form of police patrol work. The use of

foot patrols decreased substantially in the last century before reemerging as acommunity policing tool. The benefits, particularly in the form of community

goodwill and improved relationships between the police and community, may

help to explain the recent resurgence in this practice.

History of the Mounted PatrolWhile it is unknown when the first horse was used in

police action, most historians trace the utilization of

mounted forces in peacekeeping activities to King

Charles Articles of War, published in 1629. Londons

Horse Patrol, created in 1805, was the earliest formal

mounted police force, and by the 1820s both Australia

and Texas had implemented horse-mounted patrol

units.

Sitting above the crowd...Essential functions of horse-mounted patrols still include crowd

control, presence at special events, patrolling highly congested

areas, and public relations.

Even though horse-mounted patrols are sometimes difficult to

implement and maintain by departments, most that use these

special patrols believe the advantages of having them outweigh the

few disadvantages.

Although many mounted patrols were reduced or disbanded by the

introduction and proliferation of automobile and highway patrols,many departments within the United States and the world still have

departments with horse patrols that are still used today.

but there are prominent training centers that will lend a hand in

Chicago, St. Louis, and Detroit, and under the auspices of the

National Park Service.

Bicycle patrols

Bicycle patrols are used in some areas because they

allow for more open interaction with the public. In

addition, their quieter operation can facilitate

approaching suspects unawares and can help in

pursuing them attempting to escape on foot.
