Police Force: West Mercia

Posted Application: ~1st March 2017
Confirmed of receipt: Phoned through 2 weeks after to check myself
Interview Date:20th July 2017

Certificate Arrival Date: 28th July 2017 (By post)

Rejection Letter Arrival Date: N/A
Total time for application: Just shy of 5 months (21-22 ish weeks)

 

Did not have any contact from my GP.
My reference was not contacted either.

Something possibly worth mentioning - my certificate arrived today despite the fact that my gun safe was still stood in my lounge..
The FEO did mention that I am allowed to purchase a gun, but it must be kept at either the RFD, club or another cert holder's safe with the force notified including full address and SGC nr where applicable.

I finished installing my cabinet today with kind advice I had from PW memebers earlier. I must say thank you, the cabinet is not moving anywhere - and believe me I tried!

 

What's left now is to inform my FEO of the cabinet and when he's happy - off shopping! (this must be how ladies feel about shoes)

I realise it hasn't been very long yet (4 weeks), but as others have mentioned I've called once a week just to check all is ok, however every time I call I am told a completely different waiting time. At first I was told upto 6 weeks as currently not a busy time for them and most recently I've been told that it will take 12 weeks. A little consistency would be nice. Or a date even if 2 months away for an interview would be appreciated as I can't just book a day off whenever I feel like it. Ahh well...
