BTP official

The public told us they weren't happy about being charged to report crime through the 61016 text number… So we did something about it.   In May, I contacted the four major phone networks in the UK, to ask they removed the charge, Three UK, Vodafone, O2 and EE all pledged to make this change, with the smaller networks starting to follow.   BTP is proud to be the first emergency service to offer the public the ability to report crime through a text, it's discreet and can be vital in solving crime and catching those offenders who operate across the rail network.   Text 61016 to report crime but always call 999 if a crime is in progress or someone is in immediate danger.     #BTP #Text61016 #Police #PoliceOfficer
