Global Moderators MindTheGap 1,275 Posted November 20, 2014 Global Moderators Share Posted November 20, 2014 These PCSOs seem very professional https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_elp7iuCkk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVsgksmBgPo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MksUU-3j2eE This is the age old trap of being called to those filming. It does my head in, and I have to say while I usually support PCSOs, that's not an appropriate use of S50. Appropriate doesn't mean it falls within the law, it means if no complaint of criminal behaviour is being made - why get involved? This chap is clearly an antagoniser of those in uniforms, just leave him well alone and he won't get the show he wants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus 585 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Not all forces issue them. Met for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus 585 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 No, definitely not. I'm surprised how some forces don't, given that others will cite the data protection act and say you Must wear one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerseyLLB 8,426 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I already have a dull left ear drum from wearing one in BTP so I don't wear one - I'm gonna need my hearing for another 32 years thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they actually bad for you, or is it just the enviroments that you had to work in? I hate not wearing my earpeice, I feel incomplete without it.

Klaus 585 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It depends on what volume you run it at, and what type it is, so it's not necessarily dangerous, but it can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soap + 1,575 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I wear the Acoustic one now rather than the over the ear bud one. It does come with the disadvantage of making me deaf on one side to degree while wearing it, but the volume of that one can be a lot a lower and still be decipherable in noisy environments. Also, you look like a super slick secret service agent* *results may vary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soap + 1,575 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Not all forces issue them. Met for example. Do Met not issue them at all? I always saw met officers with no earpiece and thought it was a 'fashion' thing. The met must also go through an obscene amount of waterlogged radios though, no covers issued either. My Gizmo has a little jacket he wears all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some specialist units such as firearms get earpieces, but other than that, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
