​​​Request 730373934

Please provide a list of the costs associated with onboarding a PCSO, to be broken down as follows: recruitment cost, training cost, laptop cost (if issued), cost to provide all other equipment & uniform.

Please also provide a figure, if known, of how many staff members your force employs that are neurodiverse. Please separate these into police staff, police officers and PCSOs.

Response

The States of Jersey Police (SoJP) do not employ PCSOs. 

A written record of which SoJP staff members are known to be neurodiverse is not held, thus Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies for each question.
