Sussex PCSO filmed refusing to attend assault at shop
A Sussex Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) was shown refusing to respond to an alleged assault in a supermarket, in a video posted on TikTok.
The video shows A Man telling The Officer about a fight in the Co-op store in Lancing which had been reported to The Police .
The PCSO said: " I'm not a response unit. "
Sussex Police said it had launched an investigation.
The Man who was filmed in conversation with the PCSO said members of The Public were trying to stop a shoplifter.
He Said to the PCSO: " You need to get round to the Co-op. There's just been a fight round there, because people are trying to stop the shoplifter that you're doing nothing about. "
He Said : " People have called The Police and you're sitting here. "
'Clumsy language'The Officer responded: " I'm not a response unit unfortunately. "
The Man said The Sight of The Police car would " make them scatter".
The Officer replied: " Yeah, but then I have to deal with it.
" That's why I'm here and not round there. "
In a statement, Sussex Police said: " We Are aware of video footage of a single-crewed Police Community Support Officer being approached by a member of The Public to report an incident in Lancing.
" The Matter was reported to us and a Police Officer attended The Incident as an emergency. The PCSO also then attended The Scene . "
Supt Nick Dias said: " We Are sorry for the clumsy language used by the PCSO in this exchange and acknowledge The Public 's concern. A police unit was dispatched to The Scene as a matter of priority. Our response to this incident is being reviewed. "
Katy Bourne , Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner, said she shared " The Public 's disappointment and understandable concern" with the video.
" A member of The Public sent me the video and I immediately shared it with The Chief Constable who referred The Incident to the Sussex professional standards department. "
She added: " This is not the sort of response that I would expect and The Public deserve. "
