A number of PCSO’s in Sheffield were funded based on the level of the Community Safety Fund grant that Sheffield received from the PCC. This meant that we granted them funds to then return to the force the £311k to cover the PCSO’s. For 2018/19, rather than allocate the £311k annually to Sheffield the PCC transferred the budget to SYP to fund them directly.
