I've just found out that PCSOs are council employees, but I was told several years ago by one that he had been issued with a warrant card and a copy of pace, told to put them in his drawer at home because he would need it in the future. He has no authority to use them now but would need them in the future.
Would anyone help with this and ask their local force, or police commissioner, how many PCSOs have been issued with cards?
Thank you.
