	British Transport Police - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is not, however, responsible for policing the Glasgow Underground, Tyne and Wear Metro or Manchester Metro.
		British Transport Police officers are constables with the same powers as constables of the Home Office (territorial) police forces.
		BTP constables have the powers of a constable off railway property if they are investigating crime which was committed on railway property or if they come across an emergency situation, where waiting for a local police officer to attend would be impracticable.

	Policing in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The new Metropolitan Police, founded on September 29, was depersonalised, bureaucratic and hierarchical, with the new police constables instructed to prevent crime and pursue offenders.
		However in contrast to the military gendarmerie forces of continental Europe, the British police, partly to counter public fears and objections concerning armed enforcers, were clearly civilian and their armament was initially limited to the truncheon.
		A number of recent cases in which the police have intervened in matters of free speech have also given rise to allegations that the police are in danger of becomming thought police.

		The BTP covers all aspects of the railways and their associated infrastructure, including both underground and overground rail networks, and operates in the same way as all other regional police forces in the UK.
		The Government push for a swift delivery of justice has led to increasing pressures for the police to speed up their processes, and this in turn has raised the expectations that the police have of their forensic service suppliers in terms of performance, turnaround times and presentation of information.
		The ability to provide the data quickly and in a manner that is both meaningful and useful, is now essential if the police are to meet their performance targets - and ultimately deliver better services into the community.
