Guest stevo Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Think yourselfs lucky. Lincolnshires administration department is a disgrace. Which is a real shame as the FEOs are bloody brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay_Russell Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I joined basc while i was waiting but essex police were quite clear on the waiting times and i was kept upto date with my application so i didnt feel the need to ask for assistance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1023 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Got mine today, after 3 months of waiting. After my FEO Visit i may add. total of 7 months and a week or so. So Eventer1 BASC may have helped me as I rang them Tuesday Afternoon and they said it was ready to be signed, and would be with Friday Saturday. Got it today.

Lampwick Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Six months is shameful! Well done BASC. By the way why don't you complain to your Police and Crime Comissioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1023 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Pleased for you Adam 1023 it now makes me feel more positive it's just a shame we have to chase like this. don't hold your breath but i would say it should be Thursday being tomorrow. I have to personally say the Firearms Section at Tollgate are Great. But Chemsford Cant Handle all The requests for ESSEX. As much as it a pain i feel sorry for the Admin staff processing the amount of applications as requesting the CFO to Sign Each one. however the time period quoted on the website is a bit out to say the least. Please no Haters . Flyfisher :: Ive cleaned it down to bear metal now. so Happy ATM. Think it calls for a new SG Maybe a nice S/S like yours.
