When addressing a PC formally, "constable" is used,
an Inspector or above if rank unknown, "officer".
I'm not sure if sergants are officers, so I just call them "sergent".

But what do I call a PSCO? They're under constables, so they're
not officers. But they're not constables either.

So what?
"Assistant!"
"Minion!"
"Oi, you!"

None of those really work in the previous context.
Suggestions?

I think most if not all PCSO's would take umbrage to being described as being "under constables'  !!!

Unlucky, they are infact 'in support' of the Police Constable.
