The complainer asked the Commissioner to consider the manner in which Strathclyde Police dealt with a number of complaints he had made. The complaints arose from the complainer's dealings with Strathclyde Police following its decision to revoke his firearms certificate and take possession of his firearms. In particular, the complainer was unhappy that he was not provided with a reason why this action was taken and that no specific contact details were given to him by the attending police personnel.
Strathclyde Police investigated the complaint and found that the attending police personnel had discharged their duties correctly. It therefore rejected the complaint.
In the Commissioner's view the complainer was given sufficient information as to why his firearms certificate was revoked and his firearms removed. Accordingly, no further action is required in relation to these complaints.
However, the Commissioner recommends that in future Strathclyde Police provides to individuals in the complainer's position written contact details of personnel at the Firearms Licensing Department who can discuss the decision to remove their firearms in more detail.
