Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). It was answered by Lord Coaker (Labour) on Monday, 18 May 2009 on behalf of the Home Office.
Community Policing
- Question
- What recent assessment she has made of the role of police community support officers in supporting community beat managers.
- Answer
-
In performing that role as part of neighbourhood policing teams, PCSOs offer valuable support to their community beat managers. The PCSO review, published in 2008, and the policing Green Paper were both broadly supportive of the PCSO role. In addition, the 2006 evaluation of PCSOs found that they had a key role to play in neighbourhood policing, and their provision of reassurance and visibility was welcomed by local communities.
