3 PCSO's take a scumbag fishing

[Dedworth]

Enjoying the sunshine, three police officers perch next to a lake while they supervise a teenager on a fishing trip.

Two of the officers seem more interested in checking their mobile phones and chatting than keeping an eye on the bored-looking tearaway.

Cash-strapped Hertfordshire Police found the resources to send three police community support officers – nicknamed Blunkett bobbies after the Labour home secretary who introduced them – on the jaunt to a lake in Hemel Hempstead.

More PCSO's in trouble

Four police community support officers have been booted out of Scotland Yard after they secretly visited a Soho brothel while on duty, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The quartet abandoned their positions guarding potential terrorist targets in the sensitive ‘government security zone’ in central London.

Then, wearing uniform, they met up at a vice den located five doors from a Metropolitan Police ‘community safety office’ and, according to sources, asked after an Eastern European ‘model’ who plied her trade there.

Police say the publicly funded expedition was organised to help officers bond with the community and ‘get young people involved in positive activities’.

But this image, captured by a passer-by, has provoked outrage as the same force prepares to make £36million of cuts and close six police stations.

Cash-strapped Hertfordshire Police found the resources to send three police community support officers – nicknamed Blunkett bobbies after the Labour home secretary who introduced them – on the jaunt to a lake in Hemel Hempstead.

But while the PCSOs seemed to be having a good day, the teenager looked uninterested as the fishing rod sat on a stand by his side.

Last night one resident said: ‘Shouldn’t they be out catching criminals rather than fish?’

They also questioned whether officers should be enjoying a day out while crime figures in the area rose.

Hopefully Hertfordshire police will get carp-eted and they'll get put in their plaice as they've certainly crossed the fin blue line but my guess is, they'll be let off the hook.
