SNTs don't, as you seem to imply, consist of just PCSOs. This one comprises 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.
