As a PCSO trying to 論証する street cred, he's off to a bit of a wobbly start.

The uniform trousers sit far too high to 明らかにする／漏らす boxer shorts, and he wears a helmet instead of an ultra-冷静な／正味の baseball cap.

But Police Community Support Officer Stephen Dean is hoping that his skateboarding 技術s will help him ride it out.

The officer is taking part in a police 軍隊's 最新の 率先 in the fight against 罪，犯罪.

制服を着た officers …に出席する skateboarding workshops 目的（とする）d at 12 to 16-year-olds, where they mix with the youngsters and get tuition from 専門家 スケートをする人s.

Hampshire Police tries to 確実にする at least one of a team of four constables, three community support officers and one sergeant are there for each 開会／開廷／会期, held twice a week.

PCSO Dean, 22, in particular, is keen to get on board. "It's 広大な／多数の／重要な for breaking 負かす／撃墜する 障壁s," he said.

"It lets the youngsters see a more human 味方する to the police. The kids see us 負かす／撃墜する there skateboarding and see us as 冷静な／正味の, rather than something they have to 恐れる."

The 開会／開廷／会期s take place at the skate park in 物陰／風下-on-Solent 近づく Gosport, and attract up to 30 youngsters.

Watched by an 指導者, the more proficient スケートをする人s 涙／ほころび it up on the ramps. The police are still with the novices on the promenade.

Hampshire Police 広報担当者 Nicola Collins said the 計画／陰謀, a 共同の 率先 with Gosport Borough 会議, "lets police talk to young people in a 肯定的な 状況／情勢".

She 追加するd that officers …に出席する only if there is no more serious police 商売／仕事 to を取り引きする.

"If they get called up to go to another 出来事/事件 they will go off and を取り引きする it rather than staying there and having fun skateboarding."

A 類似の 計画／陰謀 in which police organised other activities for children in the area 明らかに 削除するd 罪，犯罪 by 28 per cent last year.

And unsurprisingly, によれば skateboard 指導者 Geoff Else, it's a real laugh for everyone.

The 23-year-old from Winchester, who earns £40 an hour at the 開会／開廷／会期s, said: "The kids love seeing the police on skateboards. I think it's a mixture of the kids finding it really funny seeing a policeman on a skateboard but also having a lot of 尊敬（する）・点 for them for having a go."

PCSO Dean, 一方／合間, says he is 改善するing all the time - though he always 選ぶs for a 衝突，墜落 helmet.

"I can 適切に ride the board now, 反して before I just fell off the whole time.

"All the kids recognise me now in the street and say hello, so I think it's given me more kudos."
