Police Community Support Officer (PCSO)

View this career for different education levels:

A Police Community Support Officer, or PCSO, is a uniformed civilian member of police staff who works closely with local communities to support the work of police officers. PCSOs help to tackle anti-social behaviour, provide a visible presence to reassure the public, gather community intelligence, and support crime prevention initiatives. They do not have the full powers of a police constable but can issue fixed penalty notices, confiscate alcohol or tobacco, and demand the name and address of offenders. The role involves patrolling neighbourhoods, supporting victims of crime, and building relationships with residents, schools, and local businesses. PCSOs play a vital part in promoting safety and helping to resolve minor incidents, working as a bridge between the police and the community.
