David BASC Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Some take a few weeks, some take several months! Depends who you are with? Let us know which police force you are under and i bet some of the guys on here will be able to give you a better idea of time scale based on their own experience. Best wishes David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casts_by_fly Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 sambu, I talked to one of the guys down there about a week ago. They were very backlogged until the beginning of this year, now the backlog is working away. Variations are a couple of weeks (6 or so) so new grants would be at least that long. I'd figure 3-4 months realistically. Give them 2-4 more weeks and call to check in. I know that I had put in my SGC/FAC applications and they didn't even look at them for the first month because they didn't have the reference forms. Only after they have everything will they start. thanks rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
