Protect Every Journey.
British Transport Police (BTP) keep millions of people moving safely on Britain’s rail networks every day. We support each other and help communities get to their destinations safely, no matter where they are going or why. When it comes to your career journey, we’ll do the same.
We’re not like any other Force. We are a national Force and we work in a challenging environment, which means we have specialist skills to protect our communities. Our people are trained to the highest standards to keep us one step ahead. It’s everything you would expect to experience in a police Force and much more.

We believe that every journey should be safe. We believe crime has no place on our railways, in our stations or in our communities. We believe every person deserves to feel secure - whether travelling to work, returning home or celebrating together as a nation.
That is why we are here.
Not only to police the railway, but to be its guardians.
Not only to prevent crime, but to protect people.
Not only to stand watch, but to stand up - against harm, against violence, against those who threaten safety.
We are more than the railway.
We are present at the heart of national events. We are on the frontline against violence against women and girls.
We are alongside every community that relies on the railway - keeping the nation moving and keeping it safe.
We are the British Transport Police.
And our purpose is clear: To protect today. To protect tomorrow. To protect everyone who depends on us
