We are the only force in the county to operate nationwide, this includes all of Great Britain, Scotland and Wales.

Unlike territorial police forces, which are the responsibility of the Home Office, the Department for Transport is responsible for the BTP, where we are primarily funded by the railway and not from the public purse.

While we do police 10,000 miles of track and 3,000 railway stations, we also police/have policed the following:

• The coronation of Charles III
• Liverpool Eurovision 2023
• Commonwealth Games 2022
• Big Sporting events such as football Euros 2021
• London 2012 Olympics
• Emirates Cable Car
• Notting Hill Carnival
• West Midlands Trams
