Passing the assessment stage is an important milestone – and you’ve done it. Becoming a PCSO is about building trust, helping to reduce crime and helping people feel safe – and you’re ready to take the next step. 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, you’ll be first in line for your medical and fitness checks. So 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.
