Roberoo I have heard that the ones who passed the intake in oct but did not get in will be in the next recruits however knowing Kent police they will go for all non police recruits to save 4000 each

but there are tax reliefs for specific roles such as teachers, police staff/constables etc which do not depend on individual circumstance like laundry allowance etc

we just need a list as they will not tell us

Anyone know what we can claim back as tax relief? I have been looking online but lots of Government websites are out of date. I phoned the tax office last year, like around 15 of us here, and we got uniform laundry allowance and claimed back to when we started ( for me 2007) and I got around £120 ba...

just gone from a City centre and busy uni role to a single village, its killing me and will make me leave. I dont care what anyone says, rural policing is fine for the lay abouts, fine with doing not a lot persons but if you are pro-active, rural kills you, Im only a few weeks in and dying !!!!!!!!!...

blue is horrible and traffic warden like.... NPIA are dead and buried so dont hold your breath

been that way for years, I have just moved district to an area that has no neighbourhood PCs, just volume crime PCs, neighbourhood is just PCSOs and a Sgt, complete utter crap tbh

heaven forbit that they should spend their time fighting crime and let the proper people worry about cheap boiled sweats...

im sorry but these budgets cuts have nothing to do with not replacing a contract vehicle which costs less than £50 per month! And what happens in real life then when you come on duty and have, for example on an average day, 4-5 crime reports in 4-5 villages, 2-3 house calls in different villages? Do...

hmm agree but lets not forget that the women did not bring the charges up AND it says that they were victims of crime, for all we know they could be victims of having a car aerial broken as I dont know any PCSOs who deal with domestic/rape victims etc

6 months?? Its 2 years still as PCSO counts for nothing....

Good luck to him, I wanted to go that way but not after my dealings with most PCs, now Im looking to work outside the force...

PCs in our force attend all meetings, with a PCSO, where possible, this still happens today. The PC is the Beat Manager and they do all reports, operations, crime reports, planning etc and PCSOs do community work & reassurance. They are both on first name terms with all their councillors, housing o...

That is what they are looking at, a slightly different role for the pcso so to allow pc's to be moved elsewhere. Pcso's will run their beat area and deal with all meetings and some crimes. If the pcso can't solve the problem then it will be given to a pc by tasking group. I think it could work and ...

There are two main buildings at my nick, the other building has a kitchen on the floor where the senior officers are and it has 2 microwaves, oven, dish washer etc ................. Anyhow how can you make/cook anything as 44mins unpaid break ...

Kent PCSOs have been able to do it for about a year, used to be a disposal but then the powers at be thought "hmm, still counts as a crime..." So now we have new ticket books designed for it and the info gets put onto the local info system. PCSOs can do it but they need the permission from a constab...
