PCSO takes step up
 |
| Lucy McDonagh |
A POLICE Community Support Officer is looking forward to becoming a fully-fledged police constable.
Lucy McDonagh, 25, of Chipping Norton, has been a PCSO in her home town for the past three years.
She said: "I want to have more responsibilities. I want to be able to deal with the more dramatic, life-saving side of policing.
"The role of a constable includes a bit of everything. I will be arresting people, putting files together, and generally will be able to do more than a PCSO does.
"I wanted to be out on the streets, talking to people face-to-face and being the main point of contact for members of the public who have concerns or fears."
For the past year and a half year, Ms McDonagh has been teaching five new PCSOs the responsibilities of the job.
Ms McDonagh will start training as a PC tomorrow.
Sgt Rosemary Dilsaver, of Chipping Norton police, said: "Lucy has been an excellent member of the team.
"I'm very sorry to lose her but I'm sure she will be as good in her new role."

I somehow think it'll be less dramatic that she thinks. My friend is a PC and he gets vomited on pretty much every week, has to deal with junkies, drunks, beggers and all types of lovely people.
I hope she does well anyway, but she'll get a lot more paperwork to do! Arresting people takes a minute, the paperwork takes days in some cases!
