You’ve completed your fitness and medical checks – and we’re glad you’re here. Becoming a PCSO is about building trust, helping to reduce crime and helping people feel safe – and you’re now moving into the final checks. 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 the process reopens, we’ll continue with the checks to get you ready for training. Please stay connected – because we need people like you: people who care, who listen and who want to play their part in helping make local communities safer.
