You’ve taken the first step towards making an impact in your community – and we’re glad you’re here. Becoming a PCSO is about building trust, helping to reduce crime and helping people feel safe. While recruitment is officially paused until April 2026 at the earliest due to reduced hiring requirements for the 2025/26 financial year, we hope you’ll stay with us. When applications reopen, we’ll need people like you – people who care, who listen and who want to play their part in helping make local communities safer.
