As someone who submitted my application for sgc 10 months ago, i find this deeply frustrating to hear I may have to wait a further 2 years! I presume glos police won't mind a contribution to the cost of me having to pay for a member of staff at the local shooting range to accompany me weekly for another two years!
Meanwhile a friend under Avon and Somerset police applied for sgc in September and had his home visit last week, hard to fathom how there can be such difference between police forces in this day and age
