Gameking Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Why sign up to something you DO NOT have to ? Anymore than giving you personal data to a unknown third party to do with want they so wish and not what they claim they asked for in the first instance 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ^^^^ I am nearly positive it was them that lost all gun details a few years ago, asking owners for info on guns they had. Ignore it, give them what you have too .

Never had any other contact only for renewals. Mind you living in a small village some folk know what's going on before it happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Not had one here, but been trying to contact David for over a week. Maybe he's too busy posting letters to answer his phone or emails🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkedUp Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 South Yorkshire Police are a disgrace I would not give them anything I did not have to. I have a lot of respect for most constabularies but had to deal with SY for 6/7 years in the early 2000s and they were a complete joke. I am sure there are many great individual officers who work there but organisationally it was defunct. If it is still as bad as it was it should be split up and the parts merged with Derbyshire, West Yorkshire and Humberside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been dealing with them for about 8 years now and I've not had any issues. Variations were turned around quickly, they pretty much gave me what I asked for and my SGC didn't take an inordinate amount of time.

Steel100 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Jacko, I also live in Rotherham. I get Alerts but nothing firearm specific. I'll ask via our Club WhatsApp group. NOT had this letter. These days I find SY very good and accommodating where they can be. Yes, a few years ago they were very, very bad but that has changed markedly.

Variations were turned around quickly, they pretty much gave me what I asked for and my SGC didn't take an inordinate amount of time. Nothing firearms related. Several personal incidents that they just refused to attend, many arranged meetings simply missed by them without apology or explanation. My wife was attacked and chased by a stranger. I was run over at 30mph from the side whilst cycling at 25/30mph. An attempted mugging which resulted in the mugger being beaten. Obviously there is Hillsborough, Rotherham, Orgreave etc too. They seem to lose Chief Constables weekly. I am biased, but to me they have a bad name so every time I see police incompetence in the news it seems to be SY. I have lived in five constabulary regions and the other four have all been fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
