This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

The British Transport Police already exists to police the national rail network. Policing local public transport is the responsibility of individual police forces. Decisions about how to deploy police officers are a matter for individual police forces, not the Government or Parliament.

If you are concerned about policing of public transport where you live, you could raise your concerns with your local Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), who is responsible for overseeing your local police force. You can find contact details for your local PCC here: https://www.apccs.police.uk/find-your-pcc/

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
