Brooksy789 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Im now on day 129 since my application was put in. Good news is ive had the interview and they expect my license to be with me within 2 weeks! About time! Turns out that wasn't my interview! I had an FEO visit yesterday and she was very pleased. Hopefully only a couple of more weeks! Today will be day 150 since my application went in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaedra1106 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Police Force: Durham Posted: Nov 2013 Confirmation: None Interview: (FEO at Home) Early Dec 2013 Passed without a problem (for the second time) Both FEO's were 110% happy with my son as are his 4 clubs, he's now been shooting for over 8 years. Interview: (Chief Inspector Ball at Station) May 15th 2014 Still not heard anything from Durham following the intervew. BASC have talked to C.I Ball (head of Firearms above FLM following the IPCC report after the Atherton/Horden shootings) several times. He says he wants my son to be more independent, other SGC/FAC holders in Durham with Aspergers are either married or have a job!!!. Received Grant: ----------------- Total Weeks: 34 (So Far) Edited June 29, 2014 by phaedra1106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooksy789 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Police Force: Nottinghamshire Posted: January 10th 2014 (hand delivered) Confirmation: Jan 10th Interview: May 29th Received Grant: 7th July Total Weeks: 25 1/2 or 180 days! An absolute nightmare from start to finish! Lets hope the renewal in 5 years will be a little more stress free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Sorry that members are having problems. I suggest again that they move to Greater Manchester. They are not pushovers and sticklers for proper detail, but they are also rapidly efficient and decent people to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedra1106 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Believe me, moving house again is something I'm seriously considering just to get away from Durhams ineptitude. Just sent an email asking them to give us a written statement of the applications current status and exactly what C.I. Ball requires my son to do in order to meet his requirements for the grant.
