About us
Our Justice Department covers England,
Scotland and Wales. We act as a central point of contact between
BTP and other criminal justice agencies, including the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and
Her Majesty’s Courts & Tribunals Service. We support
investigations through the criminal justice system while ensuring
victims and witnesses are kept at the heart of everything we
do.
Our role
- To be the single point of
contact in BTP for justice-related matters.
- To ensure victims and
witnesses are given the highest level of care and support,
including letting them know about any developments in their case as
quickly as we can.
- To support frontline
officers in bringing offenders to justice.
- To manage offenders,
diverting them away from re-offending.
- To provide legal advice and
updates to our police officers, ensuring they are aware of, and
comply with, the legislative requirements and best
practice.
- To make the best use of
digital technologies, ensuring an effective and efficient service
is provided.
