Details

In April 2018 HMICFRS were commissioned by the Minister of State for Transport to inspect British Transport Police (BTP) and assess the force’s ability to work with the rail industry to minimise disruption on the network.

The report looks at:

  • how well the force aligns its policing priorities with those of the industry, while maintaining its operational independence
  • how well the force minimises the disruption to the railway network caused by trespass, fatalities, cable theft and other police-related matters
