British Transport Police’s officers work across England, Scotland and Wales, policing more than 10,000 miles of railway track and over 3,000 stations, platforms and transport hubs. It’s a network that crosses geographical and jurisdictional boundaries.

The Non-Stop campaign is about more than the challenges of policing that network. Every shift eventually comes to an end, but what an officer has seen and experienced can remain with them long after they’ve gone home. That human cost can be easy to overlook.

Our Non-Stop campaign is about recognising the extraordinary breadth of what British Transport Police officers are asked to deal with, the professionalism and humanity they bring to their role and the physical and emotional toll that repeated exposure to difficult and traumatic incidents can take.

It is not about asking for sympathy. It is about asking for recognition. Recognition of the job they do and what that job asks of them. Recognition that the people who spend their working lives protecting and supporting others, deserve to be protected and supported too.

As their Federation, our responsibility is to ensure those demands are recognised and that the welfare, working conditions, resources and support available to our members reflect the realities of the work they do.
