British Transport Police

Hola, Right this not really police related but I am due to start my BTP PCSO training in 4 days and I am all confused with London underground :new_sorry:, and who better to ask then BTP Officers :new_shades:. I need get from Vic Train station to section house which is in Kennington I have had look at all LU maps but I don't get it :new_sweat: (I am not london lad) could anyone suggest any routes for me to take ? :new_hmmm: Thanks Ameur (I KNOW THIS NOT REALLY POLICE RELATED) :new_shhh:

I've got two years service as a special with a force in Scotland. I've applied for a job which involves moving down south (not a problem) but it also involves moving to a new location every 6 months. E.g. First 6 in Birmingham second 6 in London etc. would I be able to join BTP then move with my location change?. The main problem I anticipate is court. Yes in excited about the bew job opportunity but the specials is a big part of my life that I don't want to leave behind.

Hey Guys Just wondering if anyone part of the 24th September intake ? AMEUR

You observe a person offering to sell or buy used travelcards on the street just outside the exit of a busy underground station. Are there any offences? The byelaws are only effective on railway property and I'm struggling to see any offences out on the street..

I am just curious to know who applied for BTP Communication Officer job position? If you have applied, have you worked in the past as a dispatcher and have a high level of IT? Why have you applied for this role?

While on the central line yesterday I had the privilege of being on the carriage behind three teenagers who were mucking about (swinging off the bars, being a nuisance). It was when they started holding the 3rd page of a well known tabloid newspaper up at the window I took it upon myself to show them some identification and mouthed 'no' from the other side of the window (using my angry face), cue three red faces which before I'd managed to swap carriages and tell them to foxtrot Oscar disappeared sharpish as soon as the doors opened at the next stop. Truth be told I like a pair of breasts as much as the next man, but not on my commute. Had they not legged it, is there a…
