Windsor joined the Mounted Operations Unit as a two-year-old and went on to provide two decades of loyal and distinguished service to the South Australian community.
During his career, Windsor contributed more than 2,000 operational hours and was deployed on 396 operational deployments, including 17 public order deployments and 19 search operations. Throughout his service, he proved to be a dependable and professional police horse, playing an important role in community engagement, public safety and operational policing.
