SNTs don't, as you seem to imply, comprise just PCSOs. I thought we all knew that. The facts are easily available. This one consists of a sergeant, two PCs and a PCSO: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/351681-dulwich-hill-newsletter-september-2024/#comment-1681337 or https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/met/southwark/dulwich-hill/on-the-team/crime-map. i've been to another SNT's meetings, and looked at the Met details of some others, and that complement looks fairly typical. I've not been to one of these Cuppa things so can't speak of them. -
PCSOs may not need specific qualifications, but they go through a reasonably rigorous recruitment process. Or at least they used to. It may have changed. -
The ones I've dropped into may be organised by PCSOs in the SNT but regular PCs have attended. They have actually been a cuppa with a copper, but not necessarily loads of them. -
@Pereira Neves "Cuppa with a Coppa" is a misrepresentation as PCSOs are not real police. They have no more powers of arrest that any public citizen. They may have the "authority" to advise the regular police of a crime - just like Joe Public. One exception is that they can issue fixed penalty notices to people who cycle on a footpath. We see people cycling on the footpath every day but have never seen a PCSO issue a fixed penalty notice to anybody. No qualifications are needed to become a PCSO. At best, all they do is reassure and advise the public with platitudes.
