Chief Executive Officer (British Transport Police Authority)

The British Transport Police Authority (BTPA) is seeking a new Chief Executive Officer. The BTPA, based in Central London, is the independent body responsible for ensuring an efficient and effective police force for rail operators, their staff and passengers.
