Mounted Unit - NSW Police Force The NSW Mounted Police Unit provides high-visibility policing, crowd management, searches and community engagement.

Established in 1825, it is the world’s oldest continuously operating mounted police unit, celebrating 200 years of service in 2025. The New South Wales Mounted Police Unit is the oldest continuous operational Mounted unit in the world. It was formed by Governor Brisbane on the 7th September, 1825. In comparison the London Metropolitan Mounted Police were formed in 1828 and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1863. By 1830 the force was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Snodgrass. The more settled part of the colony was divided into divisions. The main detachment was stationed in Sydney; this incorporated the Governor's Guard. The city division was located at Belmore Barracks, which is the present site of Central Railway Station. There were three country divisions: they were the Western, at Bathurst; Argyle at Goulburn; and Hunter in Maitland. In the early 1900's the Mounted Police had a strength of over 800 personnel and over 900 horses. Most stations throughout the state had mounted units attached to them. It was during this time that the Mounted Police moved from Belmore Barracks to allow for the construction of Central Railway Station. Temporary accommodation was secured at Moore Park Showground, prior to occupying its present site in 1907, at the Bourke Street Police complex at Redfern.

🐴🚜 Backseat driver alert!

Troop Horse Bodie has taken it upon himself to give Groom Will a few pointers on how to drive the quad! 😂

Apparently, Will’s driving isn’t quite up to Bodie’s high standards, and he’s not shy about offering a little advice from the passenger seat!

Who’s really in charge here? 🐴👮‍♂️

A beautiful afternoon of community, culture and connection at the Alawi Youth Movement Jubilee community event at Gough Whitlam Park, Earlwood. 💙

Burwood Police joined the community alongside our Mounted Unit, the Federal Member for Barton and the State Member for Canterbury.

One moment summed up exactly why community engagement matters. A mother introduced us to two young children, around six years old, who had only recently arrived from Syria. She explained that because of their experiences back home, they were frightened of police.

We didn’t need to speak Arabic to change that moment.

A smile, a wave, a look at the police horses and a little time together was enough to show them that here, police are people they can come to for help and safety.

That is what social cohesion looks like in practice - building trust, breaking down fear and making sure every part of our community feels welcome, safe and connected.
