Community Safety Accreditation Scheme (CSAS) The Community Safety Accreditation Scheme (CSAS) and Railway Safety Accreditation Scheme (RSAS) create a framework for public and private bodies to work in partnership with the police, providing an additional uniformed presence in communities and on the rail network to assist in reducing criminality and anti-social behaviour.
After successful company approval employees of that company must apply for accreditation with their local police force. To achieve accreditation an individual must be vetted and approved by the Chief Police Officer of the area they work in, and successfully complete the required training.

Joint Enforcement Teams (JET) in Surrey The Joint Enforcement Teams in Surrey see council officers working collectively with the police to combat local issues such as noise, anti-social behaviour and low-level crime. The teams have proven to provide a fast and effective response as well as providing a visible presence to deter offenders.
Over the course of the pilots in Reigate & Banstead, and Spelthorne, the teams have been involved in dealing with a wide range of issues.
Reigate and Banstead Joint Enforcement Team
Council officers with enforcement powers including the Joint Enforcement Team, Community Safety Team, Environmental Health Officers, Civil Enforcement Officers (Traffic Wardens) and Planning Enforcement Officers work in partnership with Police Officers from the Reigate & Banstead Neighbourhood Team to provide a quicker, more robust response to those causing persistent nuisance, making Reigate and Banstead an even better place to live, work and visit.
Together, they use shared legal powers and different approaches to enforcement to more effectively deal with problems and improve the public’s sense of safety.
