There are a number of advantages for the mounted police officer. The height gives them better vision over crowds so they can see what is going on much better than an officer on foot. A large horse bearing down on you at a determined trot can be very intimidating to a lot of people so they tend to behave better and if they don't the horses can be used to 'push' a crowd around.
Another advantage is that horses are faster than people and can go where a car and often a motorbike can't (bikes can't jump a fence with out a ramp for instance) and last but certainly not least they are great for public relations, people love the horses
