Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many, in each of the last 10 years (a) individuals and (b) organisations were empowered under the Community Safety Accreditation Scheme.

The Community Safety Accreditation Scheme enables police chief officers to accredit and designate non-police personnel with limited powers to address low level crime. The Home Office does not hold information on the number of accredited individuals or organisations as the responsibility for accreditation, training and the recording of accreditations under the Scheme, rests with the chief officer of the relevant police force.
