We were promised extra police for the night tube. This has not happened and there is more crime on the underground than before. When will we have a full compliment of BTP officers? Under the freedom of information could you please provide the following. Number of BTP 2016 January figures Number of BTP 2017 January figures Number of BTP 2018 January figures and how many vacancies exist that need to be filled.

Our ref: FOI-4438-1718/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 7 February 2018 asking for information about the number of BTP officers.

London’s transport network is a safe, low crime environment, where very few of the 15 million journeys made each day involve anyone experiencing a crime. Transport for London staff are on hand to help customers whenever they need assistance and work closely with the police to ensure offenders are dealt with robustly.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy.

Unfortunately we do not hold the information you require. The British Transport Police are best placed to provide you with this information. You can make an FOI request to the BTP at www.btp.police.uk/foi.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Graham Hurt
