Murcia’s Local Police have described the current municipal term as a period of innovation in mobility, highlighting new approaches to patrol and public safety.
One of the most notable additions has been the creation of a mounted unit. The unit was officially launched during the city’s September Fair in 2023 and consists of four officers who patrol and provide escorts on horseback.
According to the force, the introduction of horses has allowed officers to improve visibility and accessibility, particularly during large public events and crowded gatherings. The mounted patrols have become a familiar sight at key celebrations and are intended to strengthen the police presence across the city.
