"Police community support officers across Coventry and Warwick-shire will not be allowed to use new powers to hold suspects for half an hour, it has been announced.
Police chiefs from Warwick-shire and the West Midlands have confirmed they will not be increasing the powers of their police community support officers (PCSOs) in accordance with new legislation allowing them to detain suspects."
