About PCSO : Police Community Support Officers
A Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) (Welsh: Swyddogion Cymorth Cymunedol yr Heddlu, SCCH or Heddlu Ategol), or Community Support Officer (CSO) (Welsh: Swyddogion Cymorth Cymunedol, SCC), is a uniformed non-warranted officer employed by a territorial police force or the British Transport Police in England and Wales. Police Community Support Officers were introduced by the Police Reform Act 2002.
As of June 2007, there were about 4,000 PCSOs in England and Wales, 1,200 of whom worked for the Metropolitan Police. The PCSO recruitment process has assisted the Metropolitan Police in achieving recruitment targets for under represented groups. PCSOs often assist neighbourhood policing teams with environmental disorder and low level anti-social behaviour.
