The British Transport Police (BTP) ((ウェールズ語:Heddlu Trafnidiaeth Prydeinig)) is a special police force〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=s.3(5) Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 )〕 that polices railways and light-rail systems in Great Britain, for which it has entered into an agreement to provide such services.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2003/ukpga_20030020_en_3#pt3-pb3-l1g31 ) 〕 95% of the Force's funding comes from Britain's privatised train companies. British Transport Police officers do not have jurisdiction in Northern Ireland unless working under mutual aid arrangements for the Police Service of Northern Ireland in which case any duties performed on a railway will be merely incidental to working as a constable in Northern Ireland. == Jurisdiction == As well as having jurisdiction of the system operated by Network Rail consequential to being a former part of British Railways, the BTP are also responsible for policing: *Croydon Tramlink *The Docklands Light Railway *Thames Cable Car *The Glasgow Subway *High Speed 1 *The London Underground system *The Midland Metro *The Sunderland line of the Tyne and Wear Metro (between Fellgate and South Hylton) This amounts to around 10,000 miles of track and more than 3,000 railway stations and depots. There are more than 1 billion passenger journeys annually on the mainline alone. In addition, British Transport Police in conjunction with the French National Police - Police aux Frontières - police the international services operated by Eurostar.〔 〕 It is not responsible for policing the rest of the Tyne and Wear Metro or the Manchester Metrolink or any other railway with which it does not have a service agreement; it can act as a constabulary for a transport system in Great Britain with which it commences a service agreement. A BTP constable can act as a police constable outside of their normal railway jurisdiction as described in the "Powers and status of officers" section. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「British Transport Police」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
