Who are British Transport Police?
The British Transport Police (BTP) are a specialist police force responsible for policing railways and other transport systems across Great Britain. Unlike local police forces, their jurisdiction covers trains, stations and railway lines, making them the primary investigators for incidents like the alleged sexual assault on the District Line.
