An evaluation of a police community support officer scheme

Abstract

This article outlines the findings of an evaluation of the initial deployment of police community support officers in a county force. A public survey revealed strong support for the concept and indicated increased reassurance. There is potential for more involvement in policing tasks and organisational and management issues to be addressed.
