Yes, alot of BTP is made of PCSOS and officers who are not armed (BTP is one of two forces who allow their PCSOS to carry handcuffs and pepper spray - the other force being north Wales) From where I live I have only seen armed BTP in big airports/train station (basically major targets for terrorists) I don't know about them all carrying tazers but they defiantly do not all crry sidearms.

I thought airport policing was a whole different dept not BTP?

Could you make a BTP armed response unit like a Mercedes Vito or a IRV like a Ford S-Max if they have them in kent?

The ARV's I am planning are the Volvo V70 and Mercedes Vito, I am unsure of the second IRV to do and there will be a Ford Transit POV. I don't want to do a ton of Vehicles for BTP so I don't stray too far from the Kent side of things.

 

Aren't all BTP armed?? At least with a taser/sidearm?

No BTP are like all Police Forces and have Armed Response Officers and Taser Certified Ones. You do get BTP officers who are armed stationed at Airports and sometimes Train Stations (I think) if that is what you're thinking of. There was an force/organization who had a sidearm the whole time I think but forgot who.

PSNI?

PSNI?

CNC

[randomperson139]

PSNI, CNC and the MOD police are all routinely armed.

 

BTP carry out regular armed patrols apparently. A couple of armed BTP officers walked past us the other day at Liverpool Street Station.

Armed patrols by the BTP are occasional, and seen mainly at the bigger stations. As said above, BTP give more PPE to PCSOs; and I'm seeing more and more PCSOs and less and less warranted officers at the smaller stations. Airport policing is done by the territorial force, BTP is railways only, I think. 

 

It's surprising really, threat level is at severe at the moment and the most that the stations are doing are removing bins from the damn stations...

I know that the major train stations in London have armed patrols. I saw 2 armed BTP officers at kings cross back in May when I was there.

You are correct BTP only covers trains, I'm not to sure why they don't call it British Trains Police.

That's wierd. When I was Heathrow airport I saw 3 BTP officers walking around.

Don't forget you have a train station at Heathrow that would probably be why lol.

Correct (I always thought airports but now I realize that it was a CO19 Uniform I saw). I'm not sure why it's called "Transport" either as that seems like a general term.

 

"We are the national police force for the railways. Every day, we police the journeys of more than six million passengers. Our aim is to get you home safe, secure and on time."

Yeah, when I was younger I thought BTP were traffic police.

One question, will the next release feature return to base commands? When I first played this I was like "its barely playable without it", but I manage quite fine now with the fire engines. Just wondering?

He is doing the callout menu I think

Boot looks absolutely fabulous!! I know it's only for role play but how will you go about opening it and will you do the same for other vehicles that have boots in the model??
