I watched this earlier on GB News, in that item there was no mention of the useless copper being a PCSO. To be honest PCSO's are bloody useless, whats the point of a copper that has no powers of arrest. It's policing on the cheap. |

Yes good old Blunkett or as Paul Merton said on HIGNFY about him “there’s none as blind as those can’t see” to gasps from the audience. I never forgave Blunkett for his biometric bollocks especially as it was said later he had shares in the company. |

They were in a company providing DNA paternity tests. Which, given Mr Blunkett's own, somewhat tangled, personal life probably saved him a few bob along the way. On the main subject, Sergeant Eldest Son quite likes having PCSOs around. They can do a lot of the otherwise time consuming follow up work, and thus free up highly paid and trained coppers - and their local intelligence can come in pretty handy, too. They're only as useful as the person telling them what to do, remember.. |

Funnily enough family member is a sergeant and he and his peers have an entirely different view of PCSO’s |

Funnily enough family member is a sergeant and he and his peers have an entirely different view of PCSO’s I can see both points of view, as a fully trained copper you might turn your nose up at them, but also they can do things that can release the copper from mundane tasks, at the same time fulfilling a wish to be seen as doing something in society. |

OK sheeps there is of course always two or more points of view,and Walt ain’t a bad bloke but I have seen these people first hand not their fault they’re in a non job. Near me large pedestrianised area clearly marked no cycling,scrote pedalling at speed nearly wipes out an old lady on sticks. I ask nearby Pcso why he didn’t stop him “I can’t “ so what’s the point of them,it is (non) policing on the cheap and it isn’t cheap because it’s a waste of money. They have no more powers than you or I,ergo a waste of money. It was is and never will be a good idea. |

I am thinking you make a fair point, the public are unaware of just what they can and cannot do. |

We only have just over 140,000 Officers in England and Wales that is the problem, not enough of them to deal with everything on top of that many of them are demoralised morale is rock bottom
