Jabadaw,
obviously there are more PCSOs than HATOs but how many people have actually come into contact with a PCSO before spouting off an opinion?

Probably the most professional department of the police force in general terms. Good at their job both at traffic law enforcement and bringing to book criminals in their motor vehicles. This ethos has obviously filtered through to the HATO role, but let's face it the public are only likely to come into contact with the HATO when they either break down on the motorway or have an accident.

I suspect this is not a model PCSOs enjoy. I do wonder if the acceptance of the role is in any way linked to the employment of retired Traffic Officers in the ranks of the HATOs?
