Overview
The disparate deployment and power allocation of the PCSO role nationally will require individual forces to 'pick and mix' content appropriate to them. This can be enhanced with local materials to address learning needs.
Aims
To equip PCS0s with the required knowledge and understanding to perform the role including 'threaded' and specific attention to attitude and diversity issues.
