re: Mounted NOPD chases perp through the Quarter

Several reasons they use mounted units in the Quarter.
Large animals are great for crowd control. People are intimidated by the horses, including suspects. It gets the officers eyes up high so they can see over the thick crowds. If need be, the horses can go full-on sprint and run-down suspects a lot quicker than most cops can on foot. It's a lot easier to maneuver around the crowds, vehicle traffic and tight streets of the French Quarter on a horse then it is in a squad car. Same reason they also used bicycles and those golf cart ATV things.
