Stingray's mounted on horses...i love that picture ;)

  Well stingrays (or similar devices) weren't mentioned in the article, and mounties don't ride horses anymore.

    Surprising that they don't - the London Met still use mounted officers.

      Canada is very big and most RCMP will work along trans-canadian highways. This makes horses unsuited for the job. AFAIK, they use Dodge Charger Enforcers. They do have mounted units and RCMP horse carrier trailers.

      Keep in mind the RCMP is not responsible for policing major cities. They are mostly the canadian equivalent of the FBI and also are the provincial police in some (not all) provinces. They also are the local police in small towns. I've seen mounted policemen in canada, but never a mounted mountie (outside of ceremonial things)

    Most mounties don't ride horses. Some do as part of their job. There's only so many places a patrol car can drive or a desk jockey can ride.

    >and mounties don't ride horses anymore. What are they mounting then?
    • tempodox 6y ago
      Vehicles. Motorized transport is still called a “ride”.

      Nothing, its slang that dates back to long ago.

        Too bad it's not a Stingray on a Horse ;)
