The New South Wales Mounted Police Unit is a mounted section of the New South Wales Police Force. Founded by Governor Sir Thomas Brisbane on 7 September 1825,[1] the Mounted Police were recruited from the 3rd Regiment of Foot, stationed in NSW at the time, to protect travellers, recaptured escaped convicts and supress Indigenous resistance to colonisation. The force remained the mounted division of the colonial forces of Australia in the colony of New South Wales until 1850, when it took on a more civilian role.[2] The NSW Mounted Police Unit is the oldest continuous mounted group in the world.[3][4]
