I would have loved to have had the chance to join the police cadets, but, during all the cutbacks due to funding, i think it's a waste of money.

They have other cadet forces eg Air, and Army, dont see that its a bad idea.
I have to confess that I was a police cadet, but that was a paid position at that time , and we did pretty much what pcso do now .
