CSAS / RSAS
Advantage One are only a few security providers in the UK that are CSAS accredited. CSAS is a voluntary scheme under which chief constables can choose to accredit employed people already working in roles that contribute to maintaining and improving community safety with limited but targeted powers. The roles we can provide include neighborhood wardens, hospital security guards, park wardens, shopping mall guards and train guards.
The scheme creates a framework for public and private bodies to work in partnership with the police, providing additional uniformed presence in communities and capitalising on the skills and information captured by those already engaged with the community.
Main benefits of using Advantage One include:
- Increasing uniformed presence on the streets (CSAS accredited officers wear our uniform, with an identification badge endorsed by the local police force)
- Reductions in local issues such as street drinking, begging and dog fouling
- Saving valuable police time in community safety to deal with low-level crime and disorder whilst increasing your response time and success rate.
- Promoting greater business involvement with the police.
- Promoting partnership working and the 2-way exchange of information and intelligence between agencies
