He was drawn to apply as a PCSO as he wanted a challenge that would allow him to make a difference.

He said: "Police community support officers are there to protect and serve the community and I wanted to do just that. PCSOs have become an important part of neighbourhood life and I am looking forward to meeting local residents and working with them to make their community an even safer place."

His supervisor Rikki McMachan said: "I am impressed by Sai’s enthusiasm to get out on the beat and I am confident that he will make a positive difference in the White Road Estate."
