This is what some of our existing Railway Enforcement Officers have to say....
- "_Customer service is the fundamental part of our role, dealing with people with professionalism, respect and assisting everyone with their travel journeys as best we can, whether providing information, answering questions, or planning the best routes for their journeys._

Our alertness, ability to adapt to all situations and decision making skills are key to achieving the most appropriate outcome when dealing with such behaviour._

Every attempt is made to avoid this however if required we aim to reduce the risk as quickly as possible and achieve a safe outcome using the techniques we are taught._
  • Whilst dealing with ticketless travel using penalty fares, we deal with vulnerable people and help them get the support they need and prevent them causing any harm to themselves. We work closely with British Transport Police and other services to help those most at risk._
  • Every day is different, every passenger has a different need, we do everything we can to ensure our passengers and staff have the best experience travelling and working on our network"_
  • Good verbal and written communication skills including tact and diplomacy.
