Do you know where they are (in terms of which month / year) for applications for new grants? I did manage to speak to their call center, and I was unable to get any specifics.

The monthly Accountability and Performance Meeting between the Herts Chief Constable and the Herts Police and Crime Commissioner took place yesterday. It was a public meeting in the sense that you could register to attend it virtually by MS Teams. You could be forgiven for thinking that you...

I am not sure I would want the police to have the power and authority to directly tap into your medical records. Thats just going to invite trouble.

It is bizzare that it would take your GP three months to do your form. I am waiting for my FAC grant since September 2024. For the last year or so, every six months I hand in a form to my GP and send the new form (which costs me £40 each time) to the firearms department. I am hoping that that...

I have cracked open my dictionary, thesaurus and old copy of Wren & Martin and am trying to figure out what this means:

So I applied to the Herts force for a co-terminus FAC/SGC back in September 2024. Predictably, I have had no responses or updates from the force. A previous formal complaint resulted in the predictable: Yeah, you are right to complain. Nothing we can do about it. I thought my MP might have...

Thanks @M@tt that is very helpful. My only source of information has been the youtube recordings of the monthly meeting between the PCC and the CC (Hertfordshire Police & Crime Commissioner)

So Herts has decided that they are going to improve their turnaround times. Now they could use plain common sense, or they could pick an arbitrary cut-off date (Nov 2025) and prioritise applications received after that date. The new applications get prioritised and decided, and just like that...

Found it. YouTube recording of the meeting: Herts: 885 renewals outstanding at end of June, down from over a 1000 in Jan. 584 grants awaiting at end of June, still where it was at start of January Focussing on renewals.

The Herts PCC was scheduled to have an Accountability and Performance Meeting meeting with the Chief Constable on the 8th of July. See...

Good evening. Delighted to join this site. I am resuming my interest in shooting after ages, and it is a pleasure to be a part of this community. Apart from target shooting, I have an active interest in the legislation, and the enforcement of the laws when it comes to firearms, shotguns, and...
