Teal Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 For me with the Met the renewal (I left it late) was turned around in just 2 weeks. From the interview to the certificate landing on the mat was Thursday - Monday. Very impressed. While on topic - Bakerboy - my FLO was interested in trying his hand at shooting and is from near Borehamwood - I suggested he ask for you at A1 Shooting Ground - so he may have been, or may be in touch soon about a lesson.

joecash Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 I would imagine the met are far better funded than other police forces due to the prescence of 650 mps and 790 lords in westminster, and thats just for starters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prize1994 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Looking at other licensing departments that's a really good score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootgun Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 My mate got his SGC 3 weeks ago in 8 days from sending the paperwork. I've got my variation back couple of weeks ago in just over 2 weeks ... Never had to wait for anything for more than 3 weeks with the mets.

Carman06 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well as an indication for you. Input my FAC & SGC initial grant in 4 weeks ago in Lincolnshire. Sent recorded so I know they received it. They haven't even cashed the cheque yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Kelly Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 My last renewal was about a week start to finish. Very impressed, though they did keep ringing up the chap who was my referee and asking him about random people for a few weeks! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
