They're not Police officers then are they.
They're not going to be battling drunks on Friday nights or tackling footy hooligans on a Saturday.
I'd agree with you that 16 is too young to become a bobby on the beat but for a community support officer that is present in order to be in touch
with the community, it is a good idea to have a 16 year old in this position, as young people in communities need role models who they can relate to.
