Police Community Support Officers
(asked on 9th November 2015) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the future of the Police Community Support Officer role.
This question was answered on 16th November 2015
Decisions as to how neighbourhood policing teams are resourced and deployed are operational matters for the relevant Chief Constable, in association with their Police and Crime Commissioner. We recognise the important role Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) play in keeping communities safe and have given PCSOs additional discretionary powers through the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.
