As many as 2,298 patrols were carried out by the Dubai Mounted Police last year.

The horseback patrol unit fined 5,146 violators of the COVID-19 precautionary measures, seized 209 wanted vehicles and issued 47 traffic fines in 2020.

It also performed security checks on 4,580 individuals and 11,562 vehicles.

The unit plays a major role in securing events and building strong community relations.

"Mounted police patrols have the advantage of entering narrow districts which police vehicles can’t reach, and they play a major role in educating the public about movement restrictions and safety measures," said Brigadier Mohammad Al Adhb, Director of Dubai Mounted Police Station.
