Journal Title: Annuals of the Administration and Law - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 0
Abstract
This article describes the characteristics of a PCSO institution against the background of legal and political changes. In accordance with the current legal regulations ‘the PCSO is a police officer appointed for a PCSO or senior PCSO post and a police officer who was entrusted with carrying out his /her official duties on these posts.’ Over the years the PCSO’s definition has evolved. At the beginning of the political transformation only a policeman who was trained on a PCSO course was assigned to the PCSO’s role. At that time he personified his/her function as a PCSO. Over time the regulations were adapted to the existing conditions. In 1999 a district division with the structure of three positions was created within the Police, namely the junior PCSO, PCSO and senior PCSO. After less than a year the positions of the junior and senior PCSO were liquidated, and thus the possibility of horizontal promotion was abolished. However, a PCSO evaluation system was introduced through a score-based assessment, consisting of calculating PCSO’s points for performing specific activities. In 2004 the score-based system for the assessment of PCSOs’ work was abolished. In 2007 two PCSOs categories were introduced with a limited range of tasks, a PCSO serving in urban and in non-urban areas. Over the years a number of changes have been made both in the PCSO structure itself and in the implementation of tasks that they had to perform. These changes are described in the article presented<br/><br/>
