The Mounted Enforcement Team was established in 1991 and consists of seven deputies with their horses. The Team specializes in crowd control, large area searches such as pastures and fields, locating missing people, as well as maintaining security at special events. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office relies on the Team to represent a high visibility of our presence which promotes a safe environment for all of our citizens. Each horse is regarded as a law enforcement animal and is protected by the same laws that empower and protect every other deputy.
Animals are our friends . . .
Report all cases of animal abuse to law enforcement.
