As a serving Police Community Support Officer, I have to state that this act was ridiculous, and not part of their role. The only time a P.C.S.O. may enter a private property is if there is deemed to be a danger to life or limb. They can also enter, for any reason, in the company of a Police Officer.
I just can't understand what they thought they were doing! Totally wrong, and would not be tolerated here at Thames Valley Police. If I did it, I would be in deep shit.
