In January and April 2017, a recruitment drive for new CSOs was launched in Gwent Police. There were 41 applicants in January and 206 in April that had to pass basic eligibility criteria before submitting a competency-based application form. Following on from this, applicants needed to complete an interview process as well as pre-appointment checks. 35 successfully appointed applicants then went on to complete an 8 week course (in July) covering: legislation, practical assessments as well as dealing with anti-social behaviour, conflict management and hate crime. On Friday 15th December 2017, following the April recruitment drive, 18 new CSOs will Pass Out after completing their training in Gwent Police.
