Abstract

Today the changes of railway environment are further increasing the demand for railway policing. The South Korean Railway Police Force puts great efforts into protecting citizens’ lives and properties and maintaining order on trains and in train stations. In order for South Korean Railway Police Force to develop further from now on, it may be necessary to analyze the railway police system in advanced foreign countries and derive implications as many as possible for South Korean Railway Police Force. The purpose of this study is to analyse the organization and operation of the British Transport Police System and to derive the useful implications for the South Korean Railway Police. These implications will be helpful for further development of the South Korean Railway Police Force.
 Among the advanced foreign railway police forces, the British Transport Police has jurisdictions over almost all railways in U.K, and the British Transport Police Authority(BTPA) has been established to oversee and maintain the efficient and effective police force of the British Transport Police. Regarding the British Transport Police, the management of the BTP by BTPA, the establishment of regular annual plans, the establishment of clear mission and vision system, and the systematic goals setting may give many implications for the South Korean Railway Police Force.
