Police Service host information events in Lisburn on new technology for firearms applications

It is being held in Lisburn City Library on Thursday, December 1 at 4.00pm and 6.30pm.

Ignite.it will be supporting Police Service in delivering these events.

Prior to the introduction of the online application process which will be introduced in the New Year for initial/re-grant or variation on a firearms certificate, staff from the Firearms and Explosives Branch of the Police Service will be hosting a roadshow in Lisburn City Library to highlight the new application process.

Discussing the new process Nichola Murphy, Head of Firearms and Explosives Branch said: “We have been working with our IT department and NI Direct to develop a robust online application process. The new application will ensure we are more effective and efficient in delivering our services to the public.

“I would encourage anyone who will be applying for an initial grant, re-grant or variation in the future to come to one of the Lisburn City Library roadshows, which will provide them with an opportunity to complete an application form online.

“The roadshows will give the public the opportunity to try at first hand the new online technology and also gives us the opportunity to go through the new process step by step with them.”

All attendees will require an email address in order to complete the online application form. However, if you do not currently have one, we would be happy to assist you in creating one.
