POLICE OPEN DAY
Sunday, August 6. IN a bid to recruit more police community support officers for Hemel Hempstead and the rest of the county police are holding an open day next Saturday
Hertfordshire Constabulary will be holding an open day next weekend (Saturday August 12) to provide visitors with an insight into this challenging role.
The event takes place at the Stanborough Road Headquarters site in Welwyn Garden City between 10am and 2pm and is open to anyone who is interested in becoming a PCSO. Several PCSOs will be on hand to chat to visitors about their role, as will the recruitment team and trainers.
PCSOs provide a visible, reassuring presence in communities across the county and have proven invaluable at forging strong links with partner agencies and local residents. They conduct high visibility foot patrols to prevent public disorder and nuisance and respond to requests for assistance from the public to deal with anti-social behaviour.
Claire Fordham, Recruitment and Project Manager, who oversees the recruitment of PCSOs said: "It's a role that calls for strong powers of observation, communication, judgement and problem-solving, plus a fair degree of personal maturity. It goes without saying that you'll also be very enthused by the idea of making a real difference to the quality of life within your community."
Hertfordshire Constabulary is actively recruiting new PCSOs, to be funded by central government and some of Hertfordshire's local authorities.
