The British Transport Police (BTP) is a dedicated national police force responsible for policing the railway network across England, Wales, and Scotland, including the London Underground, light rail systems, trams, and some maritime ports. With a focus on protecting passengers, railway staff, and infrastructure, BTP tackles a wide range of issues from everyday problems like anti-social behaviour, theft, and fare evasion to more serious threats such as violent crime, sexual offences, and counter-terrorism. The force works closely with train operators, local police forces, and other emergency services to ensure a safe and secure travel environment. Through high-visibility patrols, specialist units, and community engagement, the British Transport Police plays a vital role in keeping the nation’s transport systems safe and running efficiently.
