"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.

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.

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.

Cuppa with a copper must be an ongoing initiative - was walking in the village a few weeks ago and saw a posting - thinking about it, good way for locals to discuss their concerns especially if they are single people, families and older folk who have concerns but unclear where or who to contact to address their concerns.

Bringing community spirit back to areas in London - and showing a police presence if only for a few hours a month.

      Car thefts Landells Road

      By jim_the_chin · Posted

      I had my car ransacked on Wednesday night, I assumed I’d left it unlocked. It was unlocked again this morning though and I definitely locked it last night.   The car was outside my front door and the keys near the door inside so I assume this is a relay theft  issue with someone using a remote key reader. I would advise keeping keys away from the front door. I have reported to police.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      We are sadly saddled with the three stooges till July 2029 because they have such a far reaching majority, that is the problem when you give a party that level of support.  The ship was being turned around by the last Administration and given all their faults, errors, misdemeanours its not surprising that that got and probably deservedly so out of Office.  But if what has just happened over the past 100+ days since the new Administration took power, we are in for a very bumpy ride and peoples lives will ALL be affected. They say they champion the poor, well all they've done so far by taking away the winter fuel allowance (not eligible for it) and increasing employers national insurance, as sure as eggs is eggs, prices will increase and that hits everyone in the pocket, including the poorest in society. You can only shake the money tree so often, after which time it's Empty. What that means is the cost of providing benefits increases, where does the money then come from.  To then take on the farmers who feed part of the economy is utter madness, because if they blockade food supplies then people will go hungry, not necessarily starve. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you.  Their is enough written about the three stooges, Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, I have no idea if they are supposed "communists", but what I have seen is that free speech is being eroded, that can never be good for a democracy, where people are scared to speak out.  How does all this change, the people will eventually have had enough and rise up against the Govt. It has to happen eventually. Even is Starmer went you are left with Reeves and Rayner. Personally O don't trust either, it will be more of "do as I say, not as I do".
