Police: Firearms
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many firearms enquiry officers are employed across police forces in England and Wales.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Government does not currently collect data regarding the staffing of firearms licensing departments in police forces. The level of staffing and use of warranted police officers in such departments is a matter for individual Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners.
