Fuji Shooter Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Sent my SGC in as all the slots were filled with a covering letter telling him what was left in my cabinet. Imagine my surprise when I got a letter informing me that there were 2 additional guns that I had not informed them of selling and they were not happy about it. I dug out the paperwork and it turns out that they signed for both of the transfer notifications six months apart. I phoned up the FEO only to be told "Oh in that case not to worry we have lost them then! just send us an email with some details on". As the sales were 6 months apart I find this a little worrying when we all do our utmost to comply with the 7 day transfer letter. Is it also not the practice for each force to inform each other of transfers, as I thought they would have also picked this up that way?

spinach Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I think it's quite difficult for them to broach this kind of problem as I should think its almost always a clerical error. With all public funded works less money really does mean less but with the police they still have to take the higher ground when they find these things out. Saying that common curtesy would suggest an open apology . John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 On my renewal I was questioned about a fight I was arrested for in new castle at a football match ? I said I've never been to newcastle and hate football to which the feo replied " ok it must be another ****** " then ripped the paper work up and said sorry . I still to this day wonder who got away with that plus they had the same name lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
