BASC welcomes new training programme for firearms enquiry officers

[Conor O'Gorman]

Can you confirm which other shooting organisations helped develop and lead this course which I’m disappointed you haven’t mentioned?

Thank you.

The update is from BASC - it would have been a handful of people in BASC and running British Shooting Sports Council (BSSC) that were involved. BSSC is mentioned in the BASC update.

Indeed it was ‘your’ update. But acknowledging the other partners involved would be so much more agreeable and offer a sense that there is unity and common purpose in the shooting community on this matter.

Thanks, do you mean listing out all the organisations that are members of the BSSC in the update? This is what was in the BASC update - with a link to the BSSC website:

BASC played a significant role in developing the new course, working closely with the British Shooting Sports Council (BSSC), with the aim of ensuring professional competence amongst firearms enquiry officers (FEOs) and to achieve consistent good practice across the forces.

Should circulate that list around the rest of them.

A Google search turns up no reports or articles by any of the other organisations involved.

If they're not savvy enough to talk about their involvement and broadcast it to their members then you can hardly knock BASC for not doing their job for them.

@Martiniblack577 you might do us the courtesy of a response having set a hare running. For example, what organisation (s) are you a member of?
