I thought this was going to be about the Normid pigs

In my experience they tend to create more work than they actually resolve. They do have some day to day uses, but (pound for pound) you can probably get one fully trained copper instead of two to three PSCOs. A far better investment . They are about as much use as tits on a fish IMO. There are some decent ones, but they are few and far between.
The best acronym that I've ever heard about these numpties is CHIMPS - Completely hopeless in most policing situations
