Background

In 2021, we were commissioned by the Minister of State for Transport to inspect British Transport Police (BTP) and assess the efficiency, effectiveness and legitimacy of the force.

The commission required assessment of the force in seven of the areas that make up our police efficiency, effectiveness and legitimacy assessment framework.

We reported on how good the force’s service is for victims of crime in early 2022.

This further report sets out the findings and graded judgments in five of the seven areas that we inspected.
