Percy78 Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hello all, i’ve submitted my FAC application to Cambs police and was just wondering if the wait times are as bad as advertised. I know they’re short staffed and I’m in no rush as it takes as long as it takes. Just curious as to how long others have waited in the area?

Mullard83 Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Cambs are quite reasonable. I was invited to do my renewal early by them & it was sorted in a few weeks & that even inc a mix up with details of my serial numbers they had entered incorrectly. For a first time application it may take a bit longer, but they certainly are helpful & as efficient as they can be. If you are concerned about the time being taken, just give them a call & ask how far along you are in the process. They have always been friendly & reassuring whenever I have called them. Dan.

Thanks Dan, that’s good to know. I’m happy to wait. I learnt my lesson when getting my SGC... it comes when it comes! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Cambridgeshire are better than good on initial applications and excellent with renewals & variations. Last variation i stuck in took less than two weeks from posting to dropping through door. I chatted to someone recently about how long their first time application took and he said 13 weeks. The firearm team are great,but unfortunately hidden away at Monks Wood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percy78 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I’ll take 13 weeks compared to other horror stories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyshank Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Has anyone heard about Cambs getting back to normal. I’ve been going clay shooting with one of my friends and really want to get my SGC so I can go on my own as well. I applied in January and am hoping to get it in time for the game season as well.
