Warwickshire Police is inviting horse riders and carriage drivers to join its mounted volunteers scheme, aimed at promoting road safety and deterring crime in rural communities. Volunteers will act as visible, accessible points of contact while out riding, reporting any suspicious activity or concerns they observe. The scheme enhances police visibility, supports local events, and provides valuable community engagement.

Participants will also have opportunities to collaborate with police traffic officers on educational initiatives to promote safe passing of horses on roads. Sergeant Ruth Day emphasized the importance of the volunteers in maintaining community connections and improving safety for vulnerable road users.
