Billett Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Anyone know how long the wait is up to now? I'm going to put my application in this week. Im expecting it to be months, but has there been any decrease in time since Christmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Some posted recently on a similar thread re Essex Police FAC applications and I think they posted that they had been told over the phone 6-9 months. Have a look for the topic "well done Essex Police" or summat along those lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogie Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I applied in early January alongside my shotgun renewal which is due to expire next week. I recieved a 2 month extension on the shotgun certificate a couple of days ago. So assuming they grant me a FAC (yes I know what they say about assumptions...) running coterminous then this should happen by the start of May - unless the grant a further extension...

Billett Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I moved my SGC from Herts to Essex :( 6 months ago, that only took a few weeks. Will get my SGC brought inline with the FAC bit as I still have a 3 years left on it I'm guessing it won't make it any quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja_fox Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 If it's a new application then you're looking at at least 9 months I'm afraid... I applied in Dec and got a letter saying that it was going to be a minimum of 28 weeks. The waiting times are just getting longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billett Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Confirmed in an email today from them 28 weeks wait :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEd85 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Confirmed in an email today from them 28 weeks wait :( Hi Billet, I have just got mine through and it took just over 7 months. I heard that they are in the process of training some new people up which obviously takes time so maybe the waiting time will stop increasing! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
