About VPCSOs
Volunteer police community support officers (VPCSO) are an extra uniformed visible presence in local communities.
As a volunteer PCSO, you will support the work of regular PCSOs in providing reassurance to local people. You will deal with things that matter most to them, but on a voluntary basis.
A volunteer PCSO role is varied but will include:
- giving advice and reassurance to victims and witnesses of crime
- supporting policing operations by providing reassurance to members of the community
- working with police officers, PCSOs and other police staff on policing priorities
- working within the local policing team on minor incidents, crime enquiries and anti-social behaviour
See the full role profile for a volunteer PCSO at the bottom of the page.
The eligibility requirements to be a VPCSO are the same as a PCSO with the exception of the requirement for a full driving licence. This is desirable, not essential. View the eligibility requirements here.
As a VPCSO, you should be able to commit to at least four hours a week on patrol in your local area.
