Specifically, how you measure the effectiveness/ value of the mounted police and why the decision was made to disband the unit in 1999.

I am writing to inform you that we have searched our records and the information you requested is not held by West Midlands Police. This is because unit was disbanded in 1999 some 23 years ago.

Also, what is your policy on police horses?

There is no policy as we do not have any Police horses.
