About the Role
Policing with our client gives you opportunities like no other.
The job involves protecting and serving the railway environment and its community, with the aim of keeping levels of disruption, crime, and fear of crime to a minimum. The role of PCSOs is crucial in achieving this objective. Neighbourhood policing is as important to our client as it is to other forces, but the areas of focus are different due to the railway’s unique and transient nature.
PCSOs have the same responsibilities as Home Office PCSOs but with a focus on enforcing Byelaws within the railway environment. The job is diverse, and no two days will be the same. PCSOs will be responsible for conducting visible patrols at stations, victim care, dealing with security threats, undertaking minor crime investigations, building, and maintaining relationships and partnerships with the community, and providing support and assistance to PC’s.
No two days will ever be the same. Wherever the shift takes you, you’ll be involved in new initiatives, experience a wide variety of situations and people. Rest assured, you’ll be fully trained on how to deal with the challenges of policing, which will really build your confidence, natural ability, and enthusiasm.
About the force
This police force keeps millions of people moving safely on Britain’s rail networks every day. They help communities get to their destinations safely, no matter where they are going or why. When it comes to your career journey, they’ll do the same.
About You
Vacancies are open to everyone and all appointments are made based on merit. If you are resilient, with a real flair for customer service, have a passion for engaging with the community and forging strong links with partner organisations, then this is the role for you.
PCSOs will need to be prepared to work shifts, including weekends and bank holidays.
