Cost of FAC grants

[Gaz]

Quick question - I remember a police force disclosed, probably through Freedom of Information, that granting a firearm certificate cost it something like £60. Can anyone tell me which police force that was? Bonus points for a link to the source!

Cheers.

South Wales police at cost of £67, (links in above post)

You posted it...

I did, and I can't find my own source for the £67 - though I'm certain I've seen it somewhere.

[Tommygunn]

Well I just did the maths based on the link to the freedom of information disclosure from South Wales police and divided their total expenditure recorded (£197,814.86) by the number of FAC and SGC applications/renewals etc. (2922) which comes to.......


£67.70 (rounded)

Ta da!

I knew I'd come up with £67 from somewhere useful, !

wish they would increase the cost and get them done quicker ,my mates on 8 weeks and counting for a variation

My last variation took just over 8 weeks for a 1for1 with no other changes. Renewals are taking 18 weeks it has been reported.

My last variation took 48hours, (post office tracking said it arrived with them Monday am, fresh FAC on my doormat Wednesday morning), so it's not all bad!

your not in Essex

No indeed, Sussex.

Word was there was a little reshuffle in the licensing dept when a couple of members of staff retired and the system miraculously became really quite rapid and efficient...
