How did PCSOs get launched anyway?

Dear All I read an article in Police Magazine some time ago in which a Chief Officer indicated that ACPO & the Government had wanted to create a second line of Patrol Constables. The Federation were so anti this idea that the PCSO idea was born. The ACPO Officer indicated that in his view we were lucky that, given the Federation's attitude, CSOs had not been made a seperate force perhaps employed directly by the Government or Local Authorities.

We are here to stay in one form or another. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
