Welcome to the Scottish Area Neighbourhood Policing internet pages. These pages are designed to help the travelling public and other stakeholders access their local Neighbourhood policing teams.

Neighbourhood Policing in Scotland continues to present us with a unique set of challenges. Scotland’s railways have never been safer; recorded crime has fallen in each of the last four years. With this successful backdrop, we continue to remain focussed on making the railway in Scotland a crime free environment for all who work and travel on the system.

Neighbourhood policing plays a key role in our successes and leads directly to the improved confidence of everyone who uses the network.

We have been listening to our communities and since April 2009 we have increased our compliment of Neighbourhood policing officers, with the introduction of a further three dedicated Neighbourhood policing teams across the network.

Our officers are keen to hear from their communities, I would urge you to get in touch with any concerns you may have. We look forward to working closely together with all our partners to make Scotland’s railways even safer.

After attending the national launch of the LGBT Youth Scotland “Voices Unheard” project into domestic abuse, we can say with confidence that British Transport Police (BTP) already comply with the recommendations made in the report. All BTP officers currently receive training in all aspects of diversity awareness as well as providing active outreach support to a variety of groups, including LGBT youth. The report also highlighted a perception that complaints would not be taken seriously and confidentiality may not be maintained. It is BTP policy that every report made will be investigated thoroughly, professionally and with equal respect regardless of race, gender, sexuality or any other factor. For more information get in touch or speak to one of our officers in confidence. Your voice will be heard.

British Transport Police is committed to tackling sectarianism, and any form of hate crime, wherever it is found and continuously monitors our policies to ensure equality and fairness. BTP has a mission to keep the railways free from disruption and the fear of crime, and provide the highest quality of service to our communities and stakeholders.
