Community Safety Accreditation Schemes are a means by which the Chief Constable of a police force in the United Kingdom may grant a limited range of police powers to employees of non-police organisations who contribute towards community safety. Community Safety Accreditation Schemes were created under section 40 of the Police Reform Act 2002. Individuals who have been granted these powers are known under the Act as Accredited Persons. == Powers == A Chief Constable may grant some or all of the following powers to an Accredited Person as part of a Community Safety Accreditation Scheme:〔Schedule 5 of the Police Reform Act 2002. See also (Powers available to persons accredited under Community Safety Accreditation Schemes ), Home Office website, retrieved 29 August 2008〕 * The power to: * * require the name and address of a person who has committed a criminal offence that causes injury, alarm and distress to another person or damage or loss of another's property, or to whom a penalty notices has been issued; * * require the name and address of a person acting in an anti-social manner; * * require a person to stop drinking in a designated public place and confiscate and dispose of alcohol being consumed in a designated place; * * confiscate alcohol from young people; * * confiscate cigarettes and tobacco products from young people; * * require the removal of abandoned vehicles; * * stop cyclists if they are suspected of having committed the offence of riding on a footpath; * * stop a vehicle for the purposes of an inspection; * * control traffic for the purpose of escorting abnormal loads, for the purpose of conducting a traffic survey, and for other purposes * The power to issue a fixed penalty notice: * * for riding a bicycle on footpath; * * for dog fouling; * * for littering; * * for graffiti and fly posting; * The power to issue a penalty notice for disorder for: * * the sale of alcohol to person aged under 18; * * buying or attempting to buy alcohol for consumption by a person aged under 18; * * consumption of alcohol by a person aged under 18 or allowing such consumption; * * delivery of alcohol to a person aged under 18 or allowing such delivery; * * possession by a person aged under 18 of an adult firework; * * wasting police time or giving a false report; * * behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress; The powers available to individuals accredited under a Community Safety Accreditation Scheme are similar to those of a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO), although PCSOs are designated with powers by the Chief Constable, opposed to being accredited with them as non-employees. The Act also makes it a criminal offence to assault, resist or obstruct an Accredited Person in the execution of their duty, or impersonate an Accredited Person. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Community Safety Accreditation Scheme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
