kippylawkid Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 As we often hear of poor service from some police firearms sections, I thought I'd share my positive experience with Northumbria Police in renewing my shotgun certificate. I sent my renewal forms last Friday, had a friendly, common sense telephone interview on Tuesday and my new certificate arrived with the post this morning. An 8 day turn around - pretty impressive I reckon. Well chuffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markm Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 They are the best in the country by a mile. If you're happy ( which we all are) drop an email to the chief constable via the Internet in the hope it stays that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat g Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 They are the best in the country by a mile. If you're happy ( which we all are) drop an email to the chief constable via the Internet in the hope it stays that way I would agree on that one. Always had excellent service from Northumbria. I certainly e mailed them after purchasing a new gun shortly after my renewal last month. I took the opportunity then to say what excellent service i,ve had over the years. Like you say if you get good service from your licensing authority, wherever that may be ,let them know. It can only help in the hope that good service continues. Well done again Northumbria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Maughan Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Northumbria are brilliant, we are very lucky to have such a good service when you listen to some of the horror stories about other forces on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
