Pinellas Park Police Department Mounted Unit 
The purpose of the Police Posse is to provide the police department a specialized resource of expertise in equestrian services to assist the police in providing superior service to the citizens of Pinellas Park. Volunteers assigned to the police posse will assist in some of the patrolling duties the police department is responsible for and will also provide a positive image for a community that promotes horse related activities.
Helen Howarth Park and the connected Tingler Nature Park are two of the very few designated horse back riding areas in Pinellas County. The primary responsibility of the posse will be to patrol these areas in order to help preserve and protect their natural state and to identify and correct any safety problems that are discovered.
The posse will work closely with not only the police department, but also the City Parks and Recreation department and the City's Equestrian Board.
