kiffy Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 we have PCSO's in our village and fair play they are brilliant, one helped me persoanlly with a dodgy neighbour and she could have done more to help... one who covers the other side of the village does so much for the community, he even played santa at our christmas event.. but as PC's go i cant remember the last time i saw one on the beat here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I see PCSO's having a wander around all the time in nottingham. I often see police strolling around in London too, then again it is the capital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sian Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 In London if you see them they never walk alone always two/three together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 You can't move for them round here during Fair week. Any other time you see the odd one passing through in a vehicle; but walking a beat? Never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy518 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Lol walking the beat. Of late there have been 3 of us working to cover 3 towns spread over about 20 miles. It's bad enough calling for assistance and waiting for it to arrive in a car, but walking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88b Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Sadly plenty of them protecting MP's , most of my friends who were serving officers are glad to be out of it, the few still serving can't wait to retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 That's what PCSOs are for. Why spend time and money training police officers to have them walk around on the off chance a crime is committed? I'd prefer the few police we have left to be near to a car for when they are needed, what I would like to see though, is police stations open to the public rather than that bloody annoying yellow bat-phone they have.

Cranfield Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I was walking through our town today and saw a bobby on the beat, i couldnt believe my eyes. Probably picking up the elevenses from Dunkin' Donuts. PCSO's are alright, until anyone questions there authority, which is practically nil. They are just window dressing. Ours recently complained that people were phoning the Police to report coursers, instead of telephoning him. When asked what he would do if people phoned him, he had to admit he would have to phone the Police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old rooster Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Last time I saw a bobby on the beat he was in the high street, I'd got a bit of a gob on having just run over a broken bottle at the edge of the road while calling in to the local town to pick up a takeaway meal. I asked why they weren't on the case with the yobs chucking rubbish and bottles about and he went off on one saying that often as not while he was patrolling there was a gang of kids walking behind him hurling abuse at him. I nearly wet myself laughing which didn't go down to well, jeez I can just imagine how that scenario would have ended up when we were kids! Funny old works really.
