The roles of the Police Community Support Officer (PCSO):

• reduce crime and the fear of crime
  

• enforce traffic warden powers
  

• enforce the designations and powers conferred e.g. drinking bans
  

• act as a conduit for intelligence and report suspicious incidents to the police
  

• reduce by enforcement the number of abandoned vehicles
  

• reduce and enforce incidents of littering and dumped rubbish
  

• report other issues that they come into contact with to the relevant authority, e.g. damage to Council signs etc
  

• engage with the community, and work with local councils and partners
  

These objectives will be underpinned by:

• creating an impact by visible presence
  
• working with beat managers, neighbourhood watches, local action teams, the Community Contact Vehicle and any other agency in which contact through enforcement can bring about community safety
  
• acting as the eyes and ears of the police and community reporting, and liaising with information that assists the community, e.g. reporting damage, graffiti etc to the appropriate agency
  
• encouraging responsible and active citizenship
  
• and finally, improving community safety by maintaining a visible presence and offering advice to all members of the community.
