Jacko3275 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 11weeks ago had my feo visit she said she was happy with my past conviction medical history and that she could see no problems I asked could I go ahead and buy and fit a cabinet to which her reply was yes she then told me it’s taking 4 to 6 week for grants to go through ... after 6 week I phoned to se how my application was going I was told the manager had to put it too the superintendent at a meeting the following week I emailed my feo and she said not to worry .... I rang them the following week to be told the super didnt get round to mine and it would go to the next meeting I rang the following week to find if a date had been set the told me the manager was off for 2 week.. emailed my feo last week her reply was it will now be may sometime before the next meeting with the super....would you start to worry with the New Zealand shooting and all the gun and knife crime on the news at the moment or would they have put a letter in the post with my cheque telling me unfortunately you have been declined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 This process does take time with most Police Forces it seems. Write a personal letter to the Chief Constable explaining what is going on. Make it ‘Dear Sir’ and ensure that you have his name spelled correctly and all of the relevant information especially dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 hello, i would think it is the same as TVP staffing numbers have been reduced so leading to longer waiting times, just need to be patient Jacko 3275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes when I need another shooter I place an open advert on PW which usually goes something like...…….. 'must have own hair and teeth'. I see that you do not qualify under one of those conditions but I will make an exception this time in view of your heightened sense of excitement.
