Just because we were clogging up the topic about response times I thought I'd start this one as a 'general queries' thread Any photos yet or is it basically just a black PDA vest with everything on klikfast?

Stage 1 – Application form and Competency Based Questions Stage 2 – Assessment Centre This is a 1 day assessment centre and includes the PIRT, i.e. written communication, numerical reasoning and verbal reasoning papers, and a competency based interview. There are no role plays. Stage 3 – Medical/Fitness Fitness test is the national standard bleep test and push/pull. Medical does include a cough and drop. The eyesight standard may be more stringent than that required of local forces due to BTP officers operating on the railway environment. Stage 4 - The Waiting Game Finally comes the part where you wait for reference checks and vetting results to come back and w…

After reading through the "What you need to know about Byelaws" thread, I thought a pocketbook reference would be nice to have, so I made one. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1r5jI4-66n9ajzKpeyj4uCcFY_7qiG4aD7z4cDCVVna0/edit?usp=sharing Please, take a look and I welcome your comments on it, and would appreciate if people could check it over for accuracy as well, I tend to miss my own mistakes! Also, there is a bit of spare space on the final page, any extra notes I should add you think by be useful for an officer using this reference? Once I'm happy with it, I'll shrink it down onto A5 or something to make it PNB sized (for my force anyway!) and the…

Hello. Does anyone know when recruitment for Specials (Eng & Wales) is likely to open? Or further to that, PCs? (This thread can be used for this purpose if people are applying). The recruitment team have said that they recruit regularly, but that was mid-December.

Shouldn't BTP be an armed service?

I was thinking about terrorism the other day and where/when will be next hit. I thought that the stations haven't been for a while. Then I was thinking how BTP often work on their own or miles away from backup. The other two national/special police forces (MDP & CNC) are armed, so surely BTP should be by now? Just a pistol for each officer and heavier backup should be best, maybe the rifle in the car, similar to PSNI. Imagine if there is a very dangerous armed person or terrorist, attacking at a station and there is no real HO locals present/available. Most other rail/mass transit police agencies are armed in the West, a few in Canada are not…

Hello, So I managed to get past the application and the maths/English tests and I have got my email for the assessment centre - just doing as much research as I can. Anybody else in the process? If any current or former BTP are here, do you have any tips? What should I focus on? I know a lot about BTP from research, and I think I understand who they are and what they do pretty well. The fitness test seems fine, 5.4 shouldn't be an issue, but I am still going to do some practice runs before the day obviously! Medical should be fine also. I am currently police staff in my local HO force, quite new to the role but as soon as I joined…

A particular question. Can you transfer your live PC application, to a Special one, do you know? Or would you have to go back to square one and do the whole process again? I can imagine you would with another force, but what about the one you are already in? Thanks for any knowledge.
