Commenting on an attack by the TaxPayers Alliance on Police Community Support Officers, based on North Wales police unsolved crime figures, UNISON National Officer for Police Staff, Ben Priestley, said:<\/p>\n

-The TaxPayers Alliance has missed the point completely – PCSOs help prevent crime, but solving crime is mainly the job of police officers and other police staff.<\/p>\n

-The TPA simply uses flawed calculations to attack their latest target – hard-working PCSOs, who play a vital role in building a rapport between communities and the police service.<\/p>\n

-PCSOs help prevent anti-social behaviour, build up solid local knowledge and provide a visible police presence, which makes them popular among residents, businesses and schools. <\/p>\n

-Reassurance is more important than meaningless statistics and we should be protecting the excellent efforts PCSOs have made in preventing crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
