Why Transport Policing?
• TfL keen to play a more positive role in
development of Crime and Disorder
strategies at a local level
• Complex system
– 6 million daily journeys on bus
• 7,000 buses, 700 routes, 20,000 staff
– 3 million daily journeys on Underground &
DLR
• 13 lines, 311 stations, 20,000 staff
• Integral part of community
– Source of community intelligence
4th UK National Crime Mapping Conference
Why Transport Policing?
• High profile terrorist target
• Interchanges and stations provide
opportunities for crime
• Same offenders on and off transport
network
• Low level offenders on transport
system often commit other offences
• Carries victims and perpetrators to and
from crimes
