Policing Plan Consultation 2019/20

The BTPA is seeking feedback on the Policing Plans for 2019/20.

The views of our stakeholders are important when shaping our policing plans.

In 2018, we launched our 2018-21 Strategy, stating four clear objectives:

  • Protecting and Safeguarding People
  • Reducing Disruption and Delay
  • Providing Value for Money
  • Building a skilled and specialist workforce

One year on, we are making good progress and working with stakeholders to regularly review our plans and processes. Following an eventful year for the British Transport Police, the 2019/20 proposed policing plan reflects the challenges we have faced and expect to face in the upcoming year. We have detailed proposed indicators that will signal success in fulfilling our objectives and we are very much open to your thoughts on whether these are the right fit, and if there is anything else you feel we could measure against to demonstrate our performance.

To assist us in this, we ask that you complete this survey around our national and divisional objectives for 2019/20. This should not take longer than 15 minutes.

The deadline for responses is Friday 15 February, please tell us what you think.

Police Authority meeting to be held in Scotland

The BTPA will meet in Edinburgh on Tuesday 11 December to discuss the progress of its strategy and the 2019 budget, among other emerging issues.

The British Transport Police Authority (BTPA), which oversees the performance, strategy and finances of the British Transport Police, holds quarterly meetings that are partially open to members of the public – only sensitive discussions are restricted.

Chair of the BTPA, Ron Barclay-Smith, said: “The quarterly Authority meetings are a great opportunity to hear about upcoming projects, challenges and improvements planned by the British Transport Police.

“Not many people realise that the public can attend these meetings, and as passengers and station users they may be interested to hear about how the BTP works to reduce disruption and protect the public using the railway.”

Spaces are limited so if you are interested in attending the meeting, please contact [email protected] for more details.

Authority meetings for 2019 are being scheduled across England and Wales, and details of these will be advertised on btpa.police.uk.
