Police officers or on this case Police Community Support Officers are getting younger!
Thames Valley Police have just taken on two PCSO's at the age of 16! This could be useful to 'touch base wiv da local massiv', but it raises the questions of how do they go into pubs, or remove vehciles when causing an obstruction? Surely this would tie up more resources.
It just seems rather daft to me, as one of the necessities to that job or any Police role is a bit of 'life knowledge and experience'.
Saying that, you can join the Forces at 16, and also get married, but not legally have a drink or vote.
Most odd.
