A group of horsemen start making their way through the desert searching for troublemakers.
The police horses carry a symbol on their saddles, a falcon with seven stars symboilising the seven emirares. Each emirate has a horse patrol division to monitor areas outside cities, doing the rounds quietly. People underestimate the importance of having a horse patrol division, for they can go where cars can't. The area of Al Awafi is just one of the more popular getaways in the desert, so it is often the focus of patrols. They run from 6pm to midnight, sometimes later. Each pair of horsemen works four shifts. Most of the horsemen are from India. Lt Col Al Merri has been trying for years to recruit Emirati horsemen, but so far has not succeeded.
