After nearly 43 years of service, former Victoria Police Sergeant Amanda "Mandy" Crowley has finally hung up the reins. Mandy rode horses from the age of 5; so, after graduating from the Police Academy, it made sense that she join the Mounted Branch. Mandy is the longest serving female member of the Mounted Branch and the first in charge of rider and horse training.

She's probably worked more demonstrations than anyone else in Victoria Police, took part in the Atlanta Olympics as part of the Security Team program and even rode horse in the Victoria State Opera's international production of "Carmen".
