Mark Milton, Director of Human Resources said the fourteen had faced probationary hearings which resulted in their sackings.
He also added the South Wales Police, which has 200 PCSOs, would not tolerate breaches of ethical standards.
Although the PCSO do not need formal education for their job, they have to pass the Police Initial Recruitment (PIR) test.
