Queensland Mounted Police Unit

The Queensland Mounted Police Unit operates from its dedicated facility in Moggill, providing essential services to the local area and the wider state. This specialised division focuses on public order management, search and rescue operations, and community policing initiatives. Officers work closely with equine partners to navigate terrains inaccessible to standard vehicles, ensuring a versatile response to various law enforcement challenges. The unit maintains high standards of training for both personnel and horses to handle complex urban and rural environments effectively. Situated near the Moggill Ferry, the unit serves as a visible point of contact for the community while fulfilling significant ceremonial roles. The facility supports the ongoing care and preparation of the horses used in patrols across Queensland. By integrating traditional equestrian skills with modern policing tactics, the unit enhances public safety during large gatherings and assists in locating missing persons in bushland areas. This presence in the western suburbs reinforces the commitment to accessible and diverse emergency service delivery.
