Rejected petition Re consider the devastating cuts in Met Police funded PCSO officers

The Met police are considering cutting 1000 PCSOs which will have a devastating effect on Neighbourhood Policing across all London Boroughs. NHW and the Ward panels have spent years creating a successful working relationship with these officers and this will basically bring it to it's knees.

More details

The Met is considering scrapping all 1,000 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) working in neighbourhoods in London, the BBC understands.
The move to axe PCSOs will be discussed at the next Management Board meeting.
The proposal comes at a time when the force is planning savings of at least £800m by 2019.
The Met said all PCSOs who could be affected have been informed. Labour said the move would be the "nail in the coffin" for neighbourhood policing.
