Met delays decision on axing community support officers
THE Metropolitan Police Service announced a stay of execution yesterday for police community support officers (PCSOs).
All 1,000 officers were in line for the chop as the service strives to get on top of the £800 million cuts it is required to make by 2019.
But it has agreed to postpone the decision until at least December.
