I can't recall ever seeing mounted officers outside of parades. Would be an interesting way to police the streets, though mostly for show I guess. I can't picture a horse chase downtown haha so they would more act as a presence. Probably hard to justify the cost of that these days.
Having them walking around or using bicycles would be pretty good though and really help with the perception of public safety. With all the new residents living downtown and all the new students there as well, it would work great. Not sure if they still do it, but they also used to ride motorized dirt bikes on city paths too which extends the scope of more highly mobile patrols.
