question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Kramer on 27 January (HL4314), what they have done to integrate security arrangements with the creation of more passenger-friendly environments at major transport interchanges.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL5172
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2015 answer text <p>The creation of more passenger-friendly environments at major transport interchanges can improve passengers’ sense of security through for example better lighting, more information and retail outlets. It is important that all those responsible for the security arrangements at the interchange work together closely to ensure that these are as seamless and integrated as possible. At many major locations there are regular meetings where the British Transport Police (BTP) works in close partnership with local authorities, transport organisations and retailers to share intelligence and plan patrol strategies. The BTP also uses an evidence-based patrol strategy to help identify hot-spot crime locations within the interchange environment and has invested in training its front line staff so that they have the skills to challenge long-term structural or environmental issues which can allow crime to develop within a specific area.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 02/03/2015 14:39:55 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
