It could very well have been the CSO was merely checking to see if the missing person had been in touch. Regular checking with families of missing persons to see if they have received any contact is one of the basic rules in circumstances like this. Rather than complain about the Police trying to do their job, they may wish to thank the Police for the actions they have taken - sorry, that was a really silly remark I have just made, I know!<br />PenseivatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-79582133675650730782012-11-07T11:26:52.844+00:002012-11-07T11:26:52.844+00:00It was an error – the PCSO is actually doing the j...<i>It was an error – the PCSO is actually doing the job they are paid for, for once, rather than standing guard over a plastic egg in some school playground!</i><br /><br />Well, yes .. for once.
