Talk:Police community support officer

Scotland
On the acts part of this page is lists Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 as being relevant? A typo perhaps? I think this is meant for Custody Officers in Scotland? 192.234.122.28 (talk) 03:41, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Female Uniform
"Like their male police constable counterparts male PCSOs wear a flat cap (with a different band and sometimes a different badge) but do not wear the traditional custodian helmet even when on foot patrol. This has become an issue as it has potentially left male PCSOs with no head protection."

What about female officers?

Rationale for PSCO role
The lede should explain why the PCSO role exists and how it differs from constables. Are they paid less? Part-time? Volunteers? Some of the "similar programmes" in other countries use volunteers. Housecarl (talk) 22:36, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
