    I agree with you there Jan, the PC on the beat would have dealt with local misdemeanours before they got worse but would also have the training and powers to deal with more serious situations. Where I live the Old Police House is now a private residence and we see a PCSO for a monthly surgery and to follow up on minor crimes, that's no visible deterrent.

    On police numbers that Keith raised, that's my point - with the government saying public finances won't allow any extra police and there will probably even have to be reductions, I'd prefer to see them put the money from PCSOs into police officers.
