Public Information Notice
From The Office of Community Sousveillance
The Office is interested in playfully and creatively engaging with concerned individuals to interact and comment on government initiatives relating to surveillance, control and policing. The Office of Community Sousveillance is based in a yellow and white caravan which will be patrolling hotspots around the city of Nottingham UK during the period of 14-18 January 2009.
What is 'PCSO Watch'?
PCSO Watch is inspired by an incident back in October 2007, when Officer Rob O’ Copp was fined £30 by a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) for cycling a short distance across the pavement in Nottingham city centre.
The project is led by Officer Rob O'Copp who is inviting other maverick 'Officers' to join him to playfully gather information, data, and stories about PCSOs and their Community Protection Officer (CPO) colleagues.
"PCSO Watch is a playful piece of research, which, I should add for the record, is completely unmotivated by revenge on my part in any way whatsoever." Officer Rob O'Copp
Officers are asking the public for help in contributing their own stories to add to the online blog.
We are looking for members of the public who would like to be interviewed anonymously for our video archive. If you are interested in contributing, or for more information please contact:
