Mounted police offer engagement and reassurance at events. They stand tall and are able to monitor crowd dynamics and cover greater distance when needed adapting to a change in threat. They are used to keep the public safe. Ultimatly though...they are cops who do a great job.

As it’s the bank holiday weekend we have been on coastal patrols today. Penelope is in the beginners swimming class and just achieved her 5m badge as she dipped her toes in the sea at Roker #seasidepatrols #learntoswim #Roker @NPSunderland @sunderlandcoun1

Patronus, he may be the oldest horse on the section but he is looking amazing & still has a great enthusiasm for his job, he is enjoying a few days off after a busy weekend in the city 😊 can you guess where he was? #simplythebest #youngatheart

Christmas in Newcastle wouldn’t be the same without a visit to see ⁦⁦ @FenwickStores ⁩ Christmas window. Penshaw & Prince took their opportunity to have a look during their patrol & both of them were totally amazed by the sights & sounds😊 #Christmas @npnewcastle

Lady Penelope had an early start this morning so had to stay in overnight, she obviously thought she had to make up for lost time and try and eat as much grass as possible before she’s back out on patrol #alwayshungry #mountedpatrols #ladypenelope

It’s also time to introduce the very gentle Platinum… he’s a 10 year old, grey Irish draught gelding , he’s just 16.3hh but what he lacks in size he makes up in personality. He was given the name to celebrate the Queens platinum jubilee & he is proving to be a ⭐️ #newboy

It’s great to see the beach in #cullercoats looking so stunning in the sunshine, extra patrols have been conducted by #NorthTynesidepolice , #northumbriaopssupport due to a recent increase in anti social behaviour, we are here to keep our beaches and communities safe #teamwork

Shhhh…..be quiet 🤫 Potter decided that having a nice clean bed he would spend the afternoon snoozing, I guess it’s the equivalent of us changing the sheets on our beds 🛌 😂😂 #SweetDreams #Potter #donotdisturb

Oops..looks like our horses were caught having a little siesta yesterday🤣 they had been very busy welcoming all the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 fans to St James Park as @Lionesses played 🇫🇷 ladies. The horses enjoyed meeting everyone who had travelled far and wide to watch the match 😊 #football

Twinkle toes Potter isn’t out on patrol today so he got to enjoy the beautiful scenery whilst being exercised in the beautiful grounds near to where the stables are located 🌳 it certainly isn’t peaceful though, you can hear him coming from miles away!! #clipclop
