Police working with the NHS to tackle anti-social behaviour
The NHS have today launched the Community Safety Accreditation Scheme (CSAS). This empowers NHS organisations to deal more decisively with anti-social behaviour and under CSAS, chief police officers can delegate limited powers to accredited persons within NHS organisations to help tackle anti-social behaviour in partnership with the police.
NPCC Lead for Local Policing, Chief Constable Simon Cole said:
“The Community Safety Accreditation Scheme is about the public, the private sector and the police working as a team to tackle the issues and priorities that matter most to our communities. The increasing uptake by private and public organisations shows how effective it has been. We hope this success will allow police officers to spend more time on patrol and increase community safety.”
