Could you be the difference your community needs? Imagine a career where every conversation, every visit and every patrol helps make someone feel safer.
As a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) with Devon & Cornwall Police, you’ll become a familiar and trusted face in your community, building relationships, solving problems and helping people when they need it most.
From supporting local residents and businesses to working with schools and community groups, PCSOs play a vital role in neighbourhood policing. They’re often the first point of contact for people seeking advice, reassurance or support, helping to tackle anti-social behaviour, reduce crime and strengthen community trust.
The best part? You don’t need previous policing experience. What matters most is who you are. If you’re approachable, resilient, a great communicator and passionate about helping others, we’ll give you the training and support you need to succeed.
No two days are the same. One day you could be carrying out house-to-house enquiries, reviewing CCTV or supporting vulnerable members of the community. The next, you might be patrolling local neighbourhoods on foot or by bike, attending community events, or working alongside neighbourhood policing colleagues to gather intelligence and address local concerns.
Wherever you are, you’ll be making a visible difference.
PCSOs are the eyes, ears and voice of Devon & Cornwall Police in the community. By listening to local people, understanding their concerns and helping to find solutions, they ensure communities are informed, protected and feel safer.
And while you’ll be helping others, you’ll be building a rewarding future for yourself too. The role offers a starting salary of £27,204, with annual increments rising to £32,613, alongside the opportunity to develop valuable skills and enjoy a career with real purpose.
If you’re looking for a role that’s challenging, rewarding and deeply rooted in the community, now is the time to take the next step.
