Final Decision

[geoff75 6]

my fac application has been with the firearms manager for 3 weeks now for the final decision ,does it normally take this long to get signed off the wait is driving me nuts

[hutchey 147]

Mine took 6 weeks

Your feo will make the decision under normal circs. The manager just ratifies it.

 

He/she might be on holiday/on a course/etc

No, shouldn't do. Get the managers name and number and phone him/her.

 

Just out of interest, what police force?

I wouldn't worry over 3 weeks my renewal was sent back in November they are fully aware that both my fac and sgc have now expired and still she said it will be at least another 2 weeks thats Derbyshire,its a joke I've never known it this bad for donkeys years,infact I have never known it take so long ever,even when i phone them up to check the progress she had a chip on her shoulder the size of a king Edward,it was like its my fault they can't cope with the backed up apps etc,I ain't chasing them no more,

Hi

Update on the renewal,Lindsay from admin called today after receiving my email to say the cert was printed off on Jan 27th the delay is down to the enquiry officer,he has my cert and will give it me on my home visit but she has no control over his diary and he will ring me when he's ready,usually up my way Fridays apparently,this is new to me,on my other renewals in the past,I got a visit then the cert was posted,not now,its all done before the visit,is this the same with some of you guys,?

"She", is the problem, she rubishes any thing in the department says and then ends up saying the same thing after forcing you to listen to the waffle for a few minutes, and "she" is only admin, I understand, not the initial enquiry bloke or the feo or a manager,

 

I've posted on this before here, derbs are either very good or crap, toss up how it goes
