The Thurston County Sheriff’s Mounted Patrol is a volunteer organization of non-commissioned individuals who represent the Sheriff’s Office in a respectful and professional manner. The group promotes health, happiness and social activities relative to horsemanship.

We exist to aid the Sheriff’s Office.  Lt. Paul Counts, who supervises volunteers for the Sheriff’s Office, provides advice and support. Our liaison is Deputy Marlin Bryant.  Because we are involved in Search and Rescue, Thurston County Emergency Services provides considerable support also.  Mounted Patrol offers opportunities for families to serve the community together doing something they enjoy
