Police Community Support Officers
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the benefits of creating a long service award to recognise PCSOs with 20 years of service.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The Home Office will consider any proposal for national long service recognition for Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs).
It is only right that we recognise the commitment shown by PCSOs across the country and whose role are undeniably at the sharp end of policing, diffusing community tensions and providing visible policing presence in our communities.
