The Home Office does not publish information on the length of service of PCSOs.

The Home Office will consider any proposal for national long service recognition for Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs).

It is only right that we recognise the commitment shown by PCSOs across the country and whose roles are undeniably at the sharp end of policing, diffusing community tensions and providing visible policing presence in our communities.
