North Wales
In North Wales, BTP has two police stations, based at Bangor and Rhyl, from where officers are deployed to cover the routes around the North Wales Coast, particularly targeting anti-social behaviour which has such a damaging effect on society overall. Like anywhere else in Britain BTP relies heavily on partnership working, whether it’s with the train operating companies, North Wales Police, the travelling public, or local residents. It has a dedicated number which can be contacted whether to report non-emergency crime, or to report any incident which may be helpful in preventing or solving crime.
