Other PCSOs were disciplined after they were caught misusing police computers, behaving inappropriately and in one case, making a false allegation.
Twenty of the 35 PCSOs found guilty of gross misconduct were sacked, with the remaining 15 handed formal reprimands. A further 20 cases of less serious misconduct by PCSOs were recorded.
Martin Tiplady, director of human resources, said boredom and reduced motivation were partly responsible for indiscipline.
He said some PCSOs did not recognise the authority of their managers and did not understand the strict policing hierarchy within the force.

So much for the security of upcoming databases, Access For Health, 'voluntay' ID cards and all the rest.
Indeed, makes one feel safe that such people have access to our data.
