4. Life as a police community support officer

As a police community support officer (PCSO), no two days are ever the same. But every day you will play a vital role in making this city a safer place for all. Below you can hear stories from serving PCSOs about what they do and why they became one.

As a PCSO, you'll get to know local people, businesses, families, and communities. You'll understand what each of them needs. You'll build a picture of how best to keep each neighbourhood safe, together. These are key elements of a PCSO’s role. But it’s just a part. A PCSO works alongside police officers in London’s communities, solving the problems that matter most, such as crime, antisocial behaviour and more.
