Nice one Jonno! smileys/smiley20.gif
Yes, correct. I do get to pull the youngsters etc over LOL. But its part of the job.
Thats when I get into traffic.

[jonnosaxo87]

British Transport Police is the national police force for the railways providing a policing service to rail operators, their staff and passengers throughout England, Wales and Scotland.

The Force is also responsible for policing the London Underground system, the Docklands Light Railway, the Midland Metro Tram System and Croydon Tramlink.



nothing about normal policing...

smileys/smiley5.gif Have you not seen that program about BTP on BBC before?

[jonnosaxo87]

you have to do stuff like off that rail cops program on tv then, like when people jump in front of trains and stuff you have to find all their bitssmileys/smiley24.gif

[GreenSaxo]

thats it jonno... smileys/smiley17.gif smileys/smiley11.gif

[SaxoAL]

thats the one. Couldn't think of the name of the program.
I'd want to join the rapid response section of it mind. Still have to deal with 'jumpers' as they call it. But again, thats all part of the job.

[jonnosaxo87]

and rubbish stuff like if a trains late you have to control angry travellerssmileys/smiley4.gif

need to get in traffic al, get some car chases going onsmileys/smiley17.gif

[SaxoAL]

Can get into traffic after a year or so.
Its just as Im quite young still I want to get my probation out of the way and get into traffic as soon as I can. And my local force is not recruiting at the mo, MET isnt recruiting for ages. And atleast if I get into the transport police I can then gain a decent knowledge into london and its surroundings, which will provide useful for when I become a traffic officer.

[jonnosaxo87]

traffic can be just as bad, guess all policework involves seeing some pretty nasty stuffsmileys/happy.gif
drug squad is where it's at, my dad was in that for a few years but i think you can only do a certain amount of time or one operation or something because then the baddies(lolsmileys/happy.gif) will recognise yousmileys/happy.gif

[SaxoAL]

yeh, sounds about right.
Ive always wanted to go into traffic. So we will wait and see what happens really. smileys/smiley17.gif
