“If you have ever in your life worked for a boss you didn't get on with then forget getting again because I went through the interview for Special Constable about 9 years ago, passed it with flying colours and got sent to Hull for a medical. On returning from the medical there was a letter on my doormat informing I was no longer wanted for this voluntary job due to something they had found in background checks, I had no idea what it was and was scared to death. Eventually i got it out of them that they had approached a boss of mine from years ago who was a nasty piece of work and had given me a bad reference! What upset me more is that the date of the letter was dated before I went for the medical yet they never stopped me from wasting my annual leave, time, bridge toll and petrol money.
I wouldn't waste my time wanting to help improve society now!”

“"PCSOs have their own distinctive uniform and carry personal police radios, BlackBerrys and other police issued equipment."
And a brain the size of a pea.”
