Mounted Police Patrol Bulau Forest in Hanau: No Incidents Found
On November 1st, the mounted police unit of the Südhessischen Polizeidirektion carried out a patrol in the Bulau forest in Hanau. The patrol, which lasted from late morning into the afternoon, was a preventive measure to monitor the area and maintain a visible police presence. Despite reports of illegally dumped waste or hazardous materials, no unauthorized waste or other police-relevant incidents were found during the patrol.
The mounted police unit, part of the Hesse Police Operations Directorate, is known for its mobility in rough terrain and remarkable stamina. Horses are often perceived as less intrusive than vehicles in forests and parks, providing an eco-friendly way to cover larger areas. This summer, mounted officers were previously deployed for wildfire prevention efforts in Hanau and other areas. Officers on horseback are directly approachable, allowing them to build closer connections with the public.
The patrol was led by a responsible officer whose information is not publicly available. The Southeast Hesse Police Headquarters' press office can be contacted for inquiries regarding this matter.
The mounted police patrol in the Bulau forest was successful in maintaining a visible police presence and ensuring the safety of the area. Despite reports of illegal dumping, no incidents were found.
