stuart21 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hi, I have just spoken to my FEO and he will visit me next week. Does this mean my police checks have been succesful and what should I expect? I don't yet have a cabinet, however I have an idea as to where to put it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooter Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 They normally bring the check sheets with them and discuss anything that may be awry. Mine had some questions about on of my referees, it seemed his youth was not as innocent as he lead everyone to believe, but I still got the all clear any way. If you don't have a cabinet in place you just need to have an idea where you are going to put it, all it means is that they will have to make another visit once you have it fitted, which adds more time to your application.

Aldous Huxley Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 get a cabinet stuck in before he comes or he will have to come again after. I disagree. With my house I had to discuss where to put the gun cabinet, which was quite a tricky decision given the size of the place. The FEO wanted to do a follow up call anyway...

Alanl50 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Out of sight, decent wall to fix too, proper fixings, cupboards are great or your loft but he might insist you need "Hidden" rafter fixings. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike.ginty Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) I would get your cabinet put in place otherwise he will just have to come out to see you again wasting your time and his, even after he has been to see you he still will most likely contact your countersigner to double check they know you and what they have signed for and they may contact your GP to get a medical report this all takes time, and a criminal record (CRB) check. the time scale depends on the police force in question mine was about 13 weeks with humberside but every force is different, as long as your polite and friendly everything will go fine and a cuppa tea and biscuit helps. good luck Edited November 8, 2009 by mike.ginty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoughton Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I didn't have my cabinet fixed when he visited. I had it on the floor of a bedroom. We discussed and agreed location fixing method. He OK'd everything then and there and my certificate followed a few weeks later. He only popped around again when I notified the purchase of the first gun - he just checked that I'd done what I said I would. Police forces all vary - but I've found Essex good.

stuart21 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Thanks for all reponses. I went out a bought a cabinet and he came round yesterday, it seemed to go quite well, a 40 minute formal chat and he said my details will be checked next week and he will come out to check I have fitted the cabinet and to hopefully give me my certificate.
