HORSES have joined the fight against street crime in Greater Manchester - Operation Hawk.
Officers on horseback now form part of the high profile policing patrols that target hotspot areas during the day and night.
Chief inspector Lynn Roby head of the force's mounted unit said: "Our mounted officers provide high visibility policing that helps to reassure residents that we are committed to fighting crime and protecting people.
"Reducing street crime is GMP's top priority and working together as a team with Operation Hawk officers enables us to target hotspot areas and make the streets of Greater Manchester safer."
