(Un)Retired Memester
As a PCSO when I feel the need to contact someone who is higher up than me about what sort of punishment is given out for a certain crime I always role play it. I mention to the person I have restrained that I will contact a higher up through my radio and then I use my TeamSpeak and contact any higher-up I can find. Once I've obtained the information I need I'll relay it to my supporting PCSO (Hutch) and then deliver a sentence.
I do agree with some posts in here though, training is too easy. After going through the modules I felt that I still didn't know a lot of things about the Police Force.
I also agree about the fear and confusion part, as a PCSO I found it nerve-racking when I started with Hutch. So much that I missed important things because I wasn't prepared for the amount of noise on TeamSpeak and in-game. So much so that I was berated by an off duty officer for not punishing someone for pulling out his gun and threatening him. I could only see the gun being pulled out and that could've been anything due to the ARMA engine, all because I was really trying not to make a mistake and trying to get everything right.
