Lord v Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Took mine nearly 14 weeks after my visit. (admittedly I got the visit only two weeks after making the application - so the total wait wasn't bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grange1905 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Police Force: West Mercia Posted Application: ~1st March 2017Confirmed of receipt: Phoned through 2 weeks after to check myselfInterview Date:20th July 2017 Certificate Arrival Date: 28th July 2017 (By post) Rejection Letter Arrival Date: N/ATotal time for application: Just shy of 5 months (21-22 ish weeks) Did not have any contact from my GP.My reference was not contacted either.Something possibly worth mentioning - my certificate arrived today despite the fact that my gun safe was still stood in my lounge..The FEO did mention that I am allowed to purchase a gun, but it must be kept at either the RFD, club or another cert holder's safe with the force notified including full address and SGC nr where applicable.I finished installing my cabinet today with kind advice I had from PW memebers earlier. I must say thank you, the cabinet is not moving anywhere - and believe me I tried! What's left now is to inform my FEO of the cabinet and when he's happy - off shopping! (this must be how ladies feel about shoes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdcp Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Applied for my sgc on march 16th and it arrived July 28th. West Yorkshire. I guess like all public services they are underfunded and stretched to the limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roddy189 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Good stuff mate! 24 days in for me and still in processing pile on desk apparently. I guess it just gives me more time to decide on which shotgun I'm going to buy haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roddy189 Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I realise it hasn't been very long yet (4 weeks), but as others have mentioned I've called once a week just to check all is ok, however every time I call I am told a completely different waiting time. At first I was told upto 6 weeks as currently not a busy time for them and most recently I've been told that it will take 12 weeks. A little consistency would be nice. Or a date even if 2 months away for an interview would be appreciated as I can't just book a day off whenever I feel like it. Ahh well...
