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.

Famous quotes containing the words special, constable, membership and/or status:
“In this century the writer has carried on a conversation with madness. We might almost say of the twentieth-century writer that he aspires to madness. Some have made it, of course, and they hold special places in our regard. To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“The right eloquence needs no bell to call the people together, and no constable to keep them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
“Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
