\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Smarter security specialists, Land Sheriffs, have recently been awarded the Railway Safety Accreditation Scheme (RSAS) certification from the British Transport Police.<\/p>\n

RSAS is a scheme run by the British Transport Police for organisations working in railway safety and security. The scheme enables certified organisations to address low-level crime and anti-social behaviour so British Transport Police officers can concentrate on their frontline duties.<\/p>\n

Land Sheriffs\u2019 officers provide security services to help prevent crime, offer reassurance and support vulnerable individuals across the UK rail network. With RSAS certification, these officers can now tackle certain issues and enforce railway byelaws with police-backed authority, helping the British Transport Police deliver a coordinated and effective service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very proud to have received our RSAS certification! As a long-standing security provider for the UK rail network, this not only reinforces the quality of our operations, but also underlines our continuing frontline contribution to a safer railway environment\u201d says James Coyle, managing director of Land Sheriffs.<\/p>\n

With RSAS status, Land Sheriffs also share key security intelligence and boost the visible security presence on the rail network to help meet the needs of staff, officers and passengers.<\/p>\n

On top of granting additional powers, RSAS certification recognises the high standards of management, supervision and accountability an organisation meets \u2013 as well as its important role in deterring and reducing crime, disorder, and anti-social behaviour.<\/p>\n

To achieve this certification, Land Sheriffs had to undertake an audit, with directors successfully passing enhanced vetting checks carried out by the British Transport Police. The business can now upskill with RSAS training which includes enhanced vetting for additional team members.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy achieving RSAS status, we have been formally recognised for our capabilities and commitment to safety and security. For our clients, this reflects our continued professionalism, accountability and protection. For our officers, this allows them to operate with higher levels of training to keep rail network users safer\u201d adds James.<\/p>\n

With two decades of experience in the sector, Land Sheriffs are trusted by major rail operators to protect assets, reduce disruption and support staff and passengers.<\/p>\n

With a 24-hour CCTV control centre and a hand-picked team of skilled security professionals, they deliver a range of services \u2013 from mobile patrols and manned guarding, to on-train security and trespass and welfare patrols.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur RSAS certification is further proof of our reliability and high standards. It\u2019s another way we\u2019re showing our commitment to continually improving \u2013 and that we\u2019re actively helping to innovate, shape and strengthen the rail industry for the better,\u201d concludes James.<\/p>\n
