How hard is recruitment for Police Community Support Officer?

Question

How hard is it to become a PCSO in the United Kingdom? What is the pass rate and how does it compare in terms of difficulty or pass rate compared to Police Officers and Special Constables? I almost passed the interview for the Specials but narrowly missed out due to minor errors, so is this any indication? Thank you.

Answer 1

Can you try again?

Answer 2

The only way you will find that out is to apply. When I saw a program on it, it appears there are no hard and fast rules. Depends where you are applying and what standards they set locally. What one Authority accepts another will not.

Answer 3

It can seem difficult and hard to become a PCSO.

The main requirements are confidence in yourself, ability to help others, and a caring attitude to people around you.

Why not contact your local NPT, on the police website.

Keep on trying, we need like more you.
