Sorry for not caring about the cops making things easier for new licence applicants.

Not so if this info is correct

Hi Tim --
I’m emailing because I thought you may be interested in learning about the major shake-up the Police have just proposed for firearms administration in New Zealand.

The Police are planning a huge shake-up to the existing system, with hundreds of arms officers and firearms licensing vettors set to lose their jobs.

The Police are proposing:

• All firearms activity and personnel will be managed by, and report to the Arms Act Service Delivery Group;
• That firearms administration tasks will be moved away from districts and towards central management;
• To establish a new national Service Centre, based in Kapiti, to manage end-to-end firearms administration; and
• Disestablishing hundreds of field-based arms officer and firearms licensing vettors; replacing them with a far fewer number of new positions at lower pay-scales.

I’ve received a lot of feedback from people already, and the general view is that there are huge risks in what the Police are proposing. There will be a massive loss of institutional expertise through the disestablishment of arms officers and licensing vetting officers. To make matters worse, only six weeks has been allowed for consultation which is a pitiful amount of time given the large changes proposed. This proposal has come totally out of the blue and has shocked many people.
