Description
Blackstone's Policing for the PCSO is a comprehensive guide to the role and functions of Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). Written by experienced practitioners alongside newly appointed PCSOs, this third edition has been updated to reflect the evolving needs of this unique group within the police service.
Providing clear explanations of powers and procedures, this book covers all aspects of PCSO training nationally, from application and interview checks through to joining a force, embarking on training, and working in the field with Community Policing Teams. It includes updated key National Occupational Standards for PCSOs and covers areas such as crime scenes, gathering evidence, decision making, and community engagement.
Featuring case scenarios, flow charts, and checklists, this book helps you improve your understanding of procedure and monitor your progress. Reference and definition boxes provide handy refreshers about the law and powers available to PCSOs, making it an invaluable resource for both new and experienced PCSOs, as well as trainers and police tutors.
