What powers is the government proposing to include in the set of standard powers?
The Government feels that, in order to contribute fully to neighbourhood policing, CSOs should be given a robust set of powers. However, we would like to seek views on these proposals through the consultation process. Generally speaking, we do not want CSOs to be a paler shade of police officer, nor do we want them to take on duties that would remove them from the streets and leave them handling the paperwork involved in many criminal cases. A list of the powers that are being proposed as standard can be found at Annex A of the Consultation Summary Standard Powers for Police Community Support Officers.
