Howard
purely on the last part, i'v attempted to be even handed with mr watkins approach on my postings in general, but more so this particular subject
where, not for the first time he has attempted to silence me, as iv said it won't happen, but you need to be even handed in responses, if you were facing the same problems i'm sure you wouldn't just sit back and take it
anyway, i don't want to move away from the main theme of my post
I will wait to see what comes back from posters to see if i will comment further,
i have for some time howard been saying howard the role of the PCSO is important and not given to many more powers thus taking them away from the job they were set up to do.
one final point before people post;
BERN;
You mention pcso's should go and be replaced by police persons, there are a number of problems with this outlook.
1; many police join the police force rightly to be police officers, and not deal with the
community low level crime presently the role carried out by pcso's.
so to get police to do the job, they wouldn't have there heart in it, woudnt enjoy it, and many lack the skills required to do the job of the pcso as its not what they appied to do.
2; the police force could not afford to have a policeman/woman in every ward
the cost would be so high
3'communities feel safer with pcso's
i will stop there
for now lol
