British Transport Police

Hello, Would someone in the know please explain whether the BTP have the same eye sight medical standard as Home Office forces? Or is it more strict due to the requirement for officers to got trackside? Many Thanks. Bluebird.

Hi, I am currently in the initial phases of my BTP training at Spring house and am residing at Bernard Morgan House. With reagards to the free travel with TFL off duty does that also include London overground services as well as the underground and buses?

I hate to start a new thread but just wondered if anyone else was having the same issue. I am trying to read the May/June issue of British Transports Police 'The Line - Safe than ever', however i cant. Any one else having the same issue? Stay safe out there!

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been successful in my application to become a DDO with BTP at the new London North Custody suite in August. I cannot wait to start and i will then be 'living the dream'. I am now looking to move to the Essex (as i know people who live there and the cost principle). I am just wondering as i cannot access the internal BTP website if there are officers/staff etc that are looking for house/flat mates to reduce costs/house flats to rent etc. I am either looking for own place if this option doesnt work or to share with someone who appreciates the shift work aspect of what will be. I am willing to pay upto £600 Per Calender Month and incl…

hi, I'm new to this forum. my name is Richard and am currently waiting to apply to a police force. I am currently a special with the Met but I took my assessment centre for the met last june and missed the pass mark by 3. really gutted obviously. From reading some posts on this board i notice that the day 1 results are valid for a year. Is this true? I have also heard from talking to some of my specials colleagues that BTP have a lower pass mark than most forces. what are the chances of me transferring my day 1 results to BTP? can anyone help me with this and any advice would be appreciated. rich

Welcome to the British Transport Police chat thread.

I submitted an application to be a BTP Police officer in september 2009 for the North West region. In November 2009 i passed the assesment centre. Shortly afterwards I was invited to a uniform fitting and fitness test and medical which I passed. At the beggining of february this year I was also informed that I had successfully passed the vetting process although i had not been selected for the april intake. I have been told that the next one is in the summer. Is it now just a case of a frustrating wait?

Has anyone got some insider information on when the BTP may be starting another PC recruitment drive?? I know the last time I spoke to HR last month, they said they hadn't a clue. No other mild or better suited way of putting this, but I've been Sh*fted by the MOD police, almost immediately upon receiving A/C PC application pass marks with them, when they said not only couldn't predict a likely training date with them but they wouldn't guarantee they'd keep my application indefinitely until another training date arrives. So I'm now hoping the BTP will be recruiting again sometime before my A/C pass marks expires in July 2010, so I can apply with them :-(

Does any one know when free travel commences as a new recruit? Is this whilst travel to and from Training School, everyday. Otherwise this is going be extremely expensive, for those not allowed to stay on a residential basis!?

Hi, I'm just needing as much info about the BTP as poss. I am currently a serving HO officer of 5 years. I am wanting a change and have applied for a tranfer to BTP. I have an interview very soon and am need true accounts about how good/bad the service. What type of work do the btp carry out. Will I have time to be proactive or is it mainly reactive duties. I will be working in the NE Sector. Around Yorkshire. Any info would be great, Cheers Yorkie. If you want you can PM with the info.

Hi, Anybody on here who attended the SEARCG assesment in december and the fitness and uniform fitting in december? Just wondering how everybody is doing and wanting to say HI!
