Three days in New York I police on the subway about 10times. Maybe more.
In a year of living in London. And in years of coming to London on a
bi-weekly basis I have never ever seen any kind of police officer on
London Underground property.

Isn't the camouflage absolutely stunning?

I did this morning, and yesterday. Both (as it happens) at Stratford.

Perhaps you're looking in the wrong places?

Maybe that says something about the potential dangers on the New York
subway? Having travelled daily on the London Underground for some 30 years I
cannot during that time, recall seeing the sort of incident you previously
described. That said, I have occasionally seen BT Police travelling on the
tube but their absence on a regular basis has not concerned me. But then I
guess us Brits are not as neurotic as our American cousins!!

I often see them. There are 405 British Transport Police assigned to
patrolling the London Underground system, according to the tfl website.

They are often hanging around KX booking office. There were three or
four in flack jackets there yesterday early evening. Didn't appear to be
doing much to discourage the "dun wiv yer travelcard mate" brigade
lurking at the top of the exits.

There's been a lot of (not BTP) police around ticket halls recently
(notably Tottenham Court Road and South Kensington) with drug-sniffer
dogs. (The ones who sit down quietly when they smell cannabis [1].)

Though why they were specifically doing it there and then (a couple of
weeks ago), I have no idea. The location would suggest to me to result
in nicking a few Spanish teenagers with a joint in their pocket.

Those would be the people who are out to prevent illegal use of phones?

Can we presume that you were *not* one of these public spirited
individuals. We can accept a moment's immodesty in this instance I
feel, others may disagree.

Well I was actually pushed out of the way by the both of them as they
come onto the platform. And two people were already holding him down so
what exactly what did you want me to do? Kick him while they held him
down?

I would have expected you to kick the LU guy ... ;-)

A slightly unrepresentative example given that the whole of the Royal
Docks and attached areas have been crawling with police owing to the
presence of an international arms fair taking place at Excel Trust
me, there are police every 15 yards here at the moment...
