Special Constable Membership Status For PCSOs
Unlike other civilians employed by the police, PCSOs cannot be special constables, as this may conflict with their role as PCSOs, since Specials have the same powers as paid regular police constables. Any PCSO wishing to become a special constable would have to resign first and the same would apply for any special constable wanting to be a PCSO.
