Keep our PCSOs. They are a vital resource in the communities. Our neighbourhood is a safer place thanks to them. They make a difference and we need them.

These people provide a valuable resource in keeping our neighbourhoods safe. You cannot put a statistic on crime that hasn't happened so there impact is immesurable.

I find that the Mayor and the goverment should reconsider and keep all the PCSOs employed as they are wirth their price in gold! PCSOs are extremely valuable and represent a active link within our london communities,they are the only uniform officers that patrol the streets of london on foot!!! Regular officers dont walk the streets!!PCSOs are vital to our safety,they reduce crime,they visit us,they provide us with updates,crime prevention kits and advice and visit us at home and in our streets. Local criminals are afraid of PCSOs presence!! Save all the PCSOs , they are heroes working in poor conditions and still offer a great service to Londoners!!

London ıs a vıbrant, changıng and challengıng cıty. Polıcıng by consent thru Neıghborhood polıcıng has provided reassurance and a proportionate response where needed, intelligence and a significant reduction in crime.

The PCSO's are the eyes and ears of the community. We never see Police Officers on our streets. That's why we can talk to our PCSO's they listen and pass on important information and prevent crime - we need to keep them

This would be removing many boots on the ground which are also our eyes and ears as to what goes on in the localities - surely this risks an increase in crime?

I am extremely concerned at the cuts to PCSOs in Harrow. this leaves people more fearful for their safety and more at risk. It also removes a good way for young people to gain experience in a worthwhile job.

PCSO's are the public face of the police and their very presence reduces crime. Cutting this service would be a big big Boris mistake.

As a disabled person i am particularly vulnerable person. The regular and familiar face of our community officers have brought both help and security to our borough. it is an utter disgrace to now remove this role from the metropolitan police force. As officers on ground so to speak they deal with events immediately as they happen. they have earned the trust of the whole community and work hard. at a time of increase knife crimes we should not be reducing our police numbers on the street!!!

PCSOs as part of dedicated SNTs play an essential role in local policing, intelligence and reassurance

Our PCSO does a great job. Labour gave us 3 plus 2 PCs and a Sgt. Tories get in and everything gets axed. The Public want a police presence. Don't take it away.
