31 Police Officers trained to become “Cavaliers,” to patrol mountains on horseback

May 2, 2025 by Paul Palacio

MATI CITY, Davao Oriental (May 2) – The Police Regional Office XI has launched the “Cavaliers” Mounted Patrol Unit in Davao Oriental, composed of police officers from various units in Davao del Norte, Davao de Oro, Davao City, and Mati City.

The officers underwent a 10-day training focused on riding skills, advanced maneuvers, and specialized patrol techniques. Key highlights included demonstrations on mounting and dismounting, obstacle navigation, formation riding, and desensitization drills.

The training was in accordance with Memorandum Circular No. 2014-046 and supported by local government units. Following the completion of the training, the Cavaliers Mounted Patrol was officially launched on April 29, 2025, at Menzi Beach Park, Dahican, Mati City.

The mounted patrol aims to strengthen rural security, improve community relations, and support tourism in remote areas.

According to PMaj Catherin Dela Rey, spokesperson of PRO-XI, only 31 officers were selected for the training, mostly those stationed in far-flung police outposts.

“There are areas so remote that motorcycles or 4-wheel vehicles can’t reach. Sometimes our police response is delayed because we have to hike for hours. That’s why our Regional Director trained selected police personnel to ride horses—so they can respond quickly to incidents in remote mountain areas. This is also useful during election periods, especially in places where horses are the only viable means of transport. For example, in Davao City, the officers trained were assigned to the Paquibato Police Station,” said PMaj Dela Rey.

The horseback patrol officers will boost police visibility, serve as a deterrent to crime, and strengthen public trust in the police force.

The horsemanship training will also be valuable in the upcoming 2025 midterm elections, especially in delivering election materials to precincts located in inaccessible mountain areas.
