Divisional Commanders
Our divisional commanders give us their thoughts on how their officers are policing Britain's railways, and the challenges they face.
B Division – Chief Superintendent Martin Fry
London and the South East
On B Division we continue to focus our attention on maintaining a safe environment for everyone who travels or works on the rail and tube network. Together with our stakeholders from across the industry, we are determined to tackle the issues that matter most – reducing crime, minimising delays and improving the passenger experience.
Incidents that disrupt services can cause real problems for Industry partners and inconvenience for the public, especially in London and the South East with the highest concentration of journeys in the UK and rapidly increasing passenger numbers. That’s why reducing disruption is one of our key priorities.
Another priority is to improve passenger confidence by ensuring our officers are as visible as possible and are in the right places at the right time.
Chief Superintendent Fry joined the police service in 1977, he has a degree in policing and police studies from Portsmouth University and is a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute.
His previous senior roles within BTP have included Head of Professional Standards, Area Commander for London North and, more recently, the Head of Crime during which he led on a number of major investigations and covert policing operations.

It is my aim to develop and continue the high level of commitment and expertise to enable us to play our full part in meeting performance objectives and getting the job done right first time, every time.
