Abstract:
Volunteers on horseback is a scheme set up as part of the Northamptonshire Police Rural Action agenda. Envisaged as a way to align public input into policing with individual hobbies and interests, the scheme invites ‘responsible horse owners’ who regularly hack around their local area, to sign up and ‘help keep rural communities safe’. This report offers insight into the current operation of the scheme in practice, from the perspective of those involved. This will be explored through interview findings across a range of themes informed by (i) ‘Northamptonshire Police Policy on Horse Riding Initiatives’; and (ii) current literature and practice. Consideration shall also be given to other mounted police schemes: PCSOs on horseback, and special constables on horseback.
