Police Support Volunteers and Community Panels
Join the British Transport Police Family as a Volunteer
Volunteers and community panel members are essential members of the British Transport Police family, offering invaluable support across many of our teams and departments. Whether it's one day a week or on a more casual basis, our opportunities are incredibly flexible and welcomes contributions of all kinds. We deeply appreciate every individual who donates their time to help us provide the highest level of service to our community.
Our Police Support Volunteer (PSV) program and our Community Panel Members, provides a unique opportunity for community members to become "citizen in policing."
As a PSV, you'll bring your skills and knowledge to our police teams, helping build stronger, more effective relationships with local communities. PSVs enhance our capacity to deliver on our mission to prevent crime and protect those in need, and they are key advocates of the BTP values.
Our Panel members are volunteers who represent our communities and facilitate the community voice within policing. The Panels engages members of the public directly in determining whether individual officers or the force have met the legal requirements when carrying out their duties.
Panellists will need to work constructively with others, respecting differing values and diverse backgrounds, and have an interest in the criminal justice system. It will be beneficial to have an inquisitive mind with the ability to analyse information, identify key issues of concern and report back as necessary. A commitment to equality and diversity and an understanding of the effects of discrimination is key.
