Application process
If your application is accepted, you'll be invited to an assessment, consisting of interactive role play exercises and an initial recruitment test.
PCSOs do not have to meet the same fitness requirements as regular officers – you only need to pass a basic medical examination. However, this can at times be a physical role, so we would advise you to take regular exercise and stay in shape.
You'll also need to satisfy security requirements which will include supplying references.
If we're happy that you meet all the criteria for the role, you'll then be invited onto the next available training course.
