No time for community policing anymore’ is a telling quote from one PCSO who responded to UNISON’s survey on the impact of government cuts on neighbourhood policing. This report describes the results of the survey. It is the latest in a series of reports on PCSO cuts which UNISON has published. This series aims to bring to the attention of the public and politicians the reality of what is happening to community policing before it is too late. We will continue to stand up for, and support, our PCSO members in the very difficult circumstances in which they are now working.
The survey shows that government cuts continue to take their toll on the ability of police forces in England to deliver community policing where it matters – on the streets for local people.

In the summer of 2015, UNISON undertook an online survey of its police staff members in England, Scotland and Wales to find out about the experience of bullying and harassment within the police staff workforce.

Set out in this report are the very worrying results of a survey of UNISON members who work for police force scientific services.

In this report, UNISON takes a look at the way in which the 20% cut to police funding has impacted on police staff and police officers at force level.

On the eve of the 2015 general election, recently published Home Office figures show that government funding cuts to neighbourhood policing have seen a 27 per cent cut in the police patrol presence on our streets

Claims that cuts to policing have been kept away from the front line are in tatters as new research by UNISON shows that neighbourhood policing has taken more than its share of the government’s 20% cuts to police budgets.
