I applied online. I interviewed at British Transport Police in May 2026
Interview
Good experience. Went to a room with an officer and a police staff member then gave 10 min presentation (sat down) then answered 5 questions straight after. Be prepared for follow up questions to your examples. 5 mins later they let you know the result so not too much stress. No bleep tests were being carried out on the day.
