🚗🔻 Vehicle crime is down by more than 16% since before the pandemic - but when it does happen it can have a huge impact. Loss of transport, loss of livelihood, not to mention the financial cost. That's why tackling vehicle crime is part of my plan for Thames Valley Police. We have a record number of police officers and I've doubled the number in neighbourhood policing, with more to come. I'm the only candidate with a clear plan to protect Thames Valley and get tough on criminals. Read more and back my plan at matthewbarber.co.uk/plan

🚄👮♀️ Did you know that the British Transport Police (BTP) is the specialized national police force for Great Britain, tasked with policing approximately 10,000 miles of railway track across England, Wales, and Scotland? Their primary mission is to prevent crime and ensure the safety of everyone on the railways. So, how do they achieve this? One of the key techniques BTP uses to manage and mitigate risks is the bowtie methodology. This approach helps them systematically identify, analyze, and control potential hazards to keep the public safe. Curious to learn more about how BTP employs the bowtie methodology to protect the general public? Check out our detailed case study here: https://hubs.la/Q02yvrnw0 A huge thank you to Kyle J. for sitting down with us and sharing his valuable insights! #BowtieMethod #RailwaySafety #RiskManagement #BritishTransportPolice #PublicSafety #Bowties #Rail

If you’ve not yet come across the Modern Slavery & Exploitation Helpline or aren’t familiar with the current state of slavery in the UK and worldwide, the Unseen UK session below 👇 is one for you. Slavery is an issue we can and must all seek to tackle - both corporately, as we consider our supply chains and how to implement modern slavery regulations with best practice, and personally because we will all - tragically - live in proximity to vulnerable people who have been trafficked and live in conditions of slavery. For context, here are the recent statistics: 💡50 million people worldwide are in modern slavery 💡28 million are in forced labour 💡22 million people are in forced marriages 💡around 10,000 people in the UK are in modern slavery, according to the UK Government, with unofficial estimates much higher at more than 100,000 according to slavery experts 🧊a recent estimate by modern slavery experts is that human trafficking generates illicit profits of well over US$245 billion every year (excluding forced marriage) As ever, we need to acknowledge the incredible efforts of those leading efforts to combat and defeat modern slavery and give them our support 🙏 Unseen UK Hope for Justice and Slave-Free Alliance International Justice Mission IJM UK Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre Wilberforce Institute The Alan Turing Institute Andrew Wallis OBE Tim Nelson FRSA Anjali Mazumder Thea Cooper Kelly Ryan Murray Hunt Rights Lab, University of Nottingham Centre for the Study of International Slavery University of Liverpool

Collaboration is essential in addressing anti-social behavior (ASB) on public transport. This week, our Policing & Security team united train operating companies, British Transport Police and Network Rail, to explore ways to "join the dots." The discussions focused on bridging gaps across the industry - linking strategy with delivery, partners with shared goals, and research with practical action.  A great day with lots of discussion and opportunities identified to move policing and security forward as we transition towards Great British Rail. #ASBAwarenessWeek #MakingCommunitiesSafer #WorkingTogether
