Safer Transport Command

The Metropolitan Police Service Safer Transport Command oversees policing on London’s transport network for the Metropolitan Police Service. It is funded by, and works in partnership with Transport for London.

Overall London's transport network is generally safe and crime on public transport is at its lowest level in over 5 years.

To uphold this, the Safer Transport Command is responsible for reducing crime and anti-social behaviour and making people travelling feel safer on their journeys.

Under its command, 32 Safer Transport Teams carry out high visibility patrols on the bus network and several pan-London specialist units tackle specific crimes such as the illegal cab trade, and smooth traffic flow and congestion across the capital.

You have the right to travel safely and without fear of crime. If you have any concerns speak to your local Safer Transport Team.
