Specialised police service dogs and horses for detection, patrol, public order and ceremonial duties.
Established in 1958, the Tanzania Police School Moshi has been a center of excellence for police training in East Africa. The Dog and Horse Units were formally introduced in 1965 as specialized departments to enhance security operations, border patrol, and ceremonial functions.
Over the decades, these units have evolved to incorporate modern training techniques while maintaining the proud traditions of the Tanzania Police Force. Our canine and equestrian teams have represented Tanzania in international competitions and have been recognized for their outstanding service in various security operations across the region.

Our stable houses primarily Thoroughbreds and local crossbreeds known for their strength and adaptability to Tanzania's diverse climate. Training for cavalry officers includes both equestrian skills and specialized police tactics on horseback.
