Plastic Plods Get Full Pay Rise
The plastic police (PCSOs) have been awarded the full 2.5% back-dated pay rise that has been denied to real police officers. The Police Community Support Officers, who have no real powers - not even to arrest a suspect - are simply a waste of money. They have no real purpose, and yet are being awarded a greater pay rise than those who actually do the job that needs to be done, and are actually trained to do it properly.
Why are these pointless plastic policemen being awarded more than the real kind? I just can’t understand it. Not only is it hypocritical and divisive to offer a greater pay rise to a less qualified part of the police service, it is also utterly wrong.

Congratulations another under educated half wit or perhaps a bitter PC who has been in the job too long. I am a PCSO not plastic far from it. Been in the job just over a year after being made redundant and love it. It is what the title says Community Support Officer. The Real Police you refer to cant be everywhere at once and the vast majority do not want to spend there days pounding the streets. The majority of Police want the action they want the response, the raids,the traffic stuff etc. They dont view themselves as Community Police. They are there for a purpose,if you did not know and obviously you dont there are dedicated Police Officers for Neighbourhoods,not many and they are supplemented by people like me. Powers I push everything to the limit. I have detained thiefs and drug dealers until back up arrived saved a mans life recently from suicide passed on information for drug suppliers brothels etc and tell me what do you do? hide behind a keyboard and spit out your vitriolic bile without a clue to what is going on. Get a life or at least know the facts. I agree the Police should be on mega money for what they do and they would earn every penny I would say they should be on a minimum of 40k a year not 20 as is now
Well, you’re not big enough to leave your own name - or even a pseudonym - and not clever enough to use grammar, spelling, and punctuation properly.
So I won’t be taking any notice of your post, I’m afraid.
