Join us at British Transport Police (BTP) as we recruit PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) to make a difference in our communities

Is this the role for you?

BTP is seeking PCSOs to join our team, protecting and serving the railway environment and its community to minimise disruption, crime, and fear of crime.

Like Home Office PCSOs, BTP PCSOs focus on enforcing BTP Byelaws within the railway environment, offering diverse responsibilities where no two days are the same.

Responsibilities include conducting visible patrols at stations, victim care, security threat management, minor crime investigations, community relationship-building, and supporting PCs.

Unlike Home Office police forces, our PCSOs are trained and equipped with handcuffs.

Superintendent David Rams said:
"Our Police Community Support officers are an integral part of our British Transport Police family. They carry out vital work across the railway network to keep passengers and staff safe. We care deeply about our Police Community Support officers who deliver an exceptional service to our communities across England and Wales."
