Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Peter Soulsby (Labour). It was answered by Lord Herbert of South Downs (Conservative) on Monday, 1 November 2010 on behalf of the Home Office.


Community Support Officers

Question
What estimate she has made of the likely effect on the number of police community support officers in post of implementation of the outcomes of the comprehensive spending review; and if she will make a statement.
Answer

PCSOs are an important part of the policing family, providing a visible, uniformed presence on our streets. It is for police forces and authorities to determine how they deploy their personnel, but we are clear that forces should be focusing on finding efficiencies in back-office and support functions to protect front-line policing.
