British Transport Police is the specialist, national police service for Britain’s railways. It deals with major and minor crime, disorder and incidents, and covers the rail system in England, Wales and Scotland. Its police officers, Police Community Support Officers, Special Constables and support staff are recruited and trained like those of local forces and have the same powers.
BTPA today launched its strategy for British Transport Police until 2014. This document was produced following extensive consultation with the rail industry.
Millie Banerjee and Andrew Figgures, chairman and chief executive, said the plan’s operating context is extremely challenging, coming as passenger numbers rise but public sector and rail industry finances are constrained.
Introducing the plan, they wrote: “This plan outlines how BTP will match organisational activities to the environment, respond to any perceived threats and exploit identified opportunities with clear objectives that ensure strategic intent turns into operational reality.”
Over the period of this strategy, BTP will focus on four key objectives:
- Helping to keep rail transport systems running
- Helping to make rail transport systems safer and more secure
- Deliver value for money through continuous improvement
- Promoting confidence in the use of rail transport systems
The strategy is available to read on BTPA’s website by clicking here or in PDF format.

British Transport Police Authority (BTPA) has today set the police force’s 2011/12 budget at 3.3% less than the previous year in real terms.
The intention is to maintain this budget for the following year, 2012/13, when the police force will have a significant operational role during the Olympic Games.
“This is a difficult settlement that will require an imaginative response from the police force,” said Millie Banerjee, BTPA chairman.
“British Transport Police has achieved a remarkable performance in reducing crime since 2004, underpinned by substantial growth through investment.
“But the force will now have to be creative as it faces the challenge of delivering the same level of service on a reduced budget.”
