What is a PCSO?
Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) are uniformed staff members who work to provide a visible presence in the community. They play a crucial role in community policing, helping to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, and improving the quality of life for local residents.
Key Responsibilities of PCSOs:
Community Engagement: PCSOs build relationships with local residents, businesses, and community groups. They attend community meetings, visit schools, and participate in local events to foster positive relationships between the police and the public.
How to Contact Your Local PCSO:
PCSOs are assigned to specific neighbourhoods. To find out who your local PCSO is and how to contact them, visit North Wales Police’s ‘Your Area’ website: https://www.northwales.police.uk/area/your-area/
