PCSOs Funding for Events

I would like to ask under the Freedom of Information Act how many 'third party funded' or 'match funded' PCSOs have been employed by your force in the past five years.

That is community support officers who are either part or fully funded by businesses or other organizations such as councils or universities.

Please supply details of the funding in each case - that is which outside body has provided it, how much they provided and what proportion of the total PCSO's cost this covered.

In accordance with section 1(1) (b) of the Act our response is provided below;

Cheshire Constabulary currently has 133 PCSOs who are part funded by various partners. All partners currently pay £11,000 per annum per PCSO which is equivalent to approximately a third of the PCSO cost.
