What the petition asks
Officers that join each individual force to be based in the community and don't get moved to specialisms . Remain in the community for whole service and receive 10% more salary for doing this , they also get usual increments for usual lengths of service .
They are part of a unit that is based in the community for whole duration of service , not PCSOs but fully trained police officers that serve their individual communities are foot based and are there to build a trust within communities and if they are needed to arrest anyone the arrest is handed to an arrest team and they simply supply a statement and are back within the community collating evidence, encouraging trust within community and taking part if community events with the community.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is the responsibility of local Police and Crime Commissioners, Combined Authorities or, in London, the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime.
