Description

The British Transport Police are recruiting PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) - Join us and make a difference to the community
The British Transport Police (BTP) are currently recruiting PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers) to join their team.

The job involves protecting and serving the railway environment and its community, with the aim of keeping levels of disruption, crime, and fear of crime to a minimum.

The role of PCSOs is crucial in achieving this objective.

Neighbourhood policing is as important to BTP as it is to other forces, but the areas of focus are different due to the railway's unique and transient nature.

PCSOs have the same responsibilities as Home Office PCSOs but with a focus on enforcing BTP Byelaws within the railway environment.

The job is diverse, and no two days will be the same.

PCSOs will be responsible for conducting visible patrols at stations, victim care, dealing with security threats, undertaking minor crime investigations, building, and maintaining relationships and partnerships with the community, and providing support and assistance to PC's.

Unlike Home Office police forces, our PCSO's are trained and equipped with handcuffs.
