The key role of Police Community Support Officers (PCSO) is to develop community-based problem-solving approaches to resolving local issues. Public demand for visible patrols has never been greater, with PCSOs helping us to meet this demand and deliver the service our communities expect and deserve.

PCSO's are involved in tackling a range of crime and anti-social behaviour, for example:

• contributing to the regeneration of local communities
• increasing public safety
• dealing with truants, graffiti, abandoned vehicles, litter, missing person enquiries
• helping to support crime victims
• stopping vehicles for the purpose of a road check
