Equestrian brigades.

How does an equestrian brigade function?

In this time when the car, the motor bike, are kings, the horse knew to keep in our society, a marginal place certainly, but a choice place, thanks to the ease of use which it releases.

This place, it always occupies it within the municipal police and police force, in particular where there remains a devoted and effective auxiliary.

Snuffed formerly for its speed and its endurance, it is it today for its ecological qualities and its capacity to be been used as mediator between the police officer and managed. The equestrian brigades, still very few today, have a bright future in front of them in rural environment, as in urban environment besides.

The horses enter the city

it is France which gave to the last style the current use large-scales of the horses within the font, with the creation of the #AE6373 brigades.

This pastoral environment should not be foreign with the choice of the horse like privileged partner of the rural policeman or the municipal police officer. To effectively achieve the main aim which to them is assigned the protection of the site, the agents obviously, may find it very beneficial to be in phase with nature! And which best means of collecting the attention of the young people and less young contraveners, who to forward the horse like privileged interlocutor?

The use of the horse in urban environment is still generally confined with the monitoring of the areas wooded in periphery of the cities, or the city parks. It is true that this average proved its effectiveness to pare out of the thickets the prostitution, the sale of drugs and the delinquent fauna which inventories the product of the last flights with torn off. This effectiveness is due, for a good portion, with the horse whose stature impresses the delinquents all while being played of many natural and artificial obstacles, because of its physical abilities which enable him to move quickly where the man and the car are handicapped, the whole in the respect of nature. The difficulty in recruiting riding municipal police officers, often pushes back with later creation of an equestrian brigade, and yet as in rural environment, the use of horses downtown. allowed to check that it is a means of opening the dialog with the population. to give birth to in it an renewed interest for the font. via the natural and mysterious mediation of the animal.

The process is immutable the adult walkers and children, cross by the equestrian patrol approach, ask to cherish the chamfer or the neck, tighten a hesitant hand, then affectionate. Come then the friendly words addressed to mounting, the use of the tu which is established with it, and then only, the solitary walker, the child of the districts or the high-school pupil, raises the head towards the rider to question it on the name of the horse, its age, the place where he sleeps. And the rider-police officer to answer, in low-angle shot top of its mounting, with these people who without the horse would not have had matter to approach it. This official report leads some police officers to guide their crew towards the downtown areas, the pedestrian precincts, and sometimes even in the middle of the disadvantaged districts. And if it is still too early to establish a balance-sheet of this type of initiatives, they seem right now shares complementary to the other procedures of the municipal police.
