We have received several enquiries from members seeking advice about the recent media attention regarding CNC officers – it was reported that five CNC officers recently won their case at an Employment Tribunal (ET) as they were no longer able to carry firearms.
Before DPF can provide informed advice to members we must obtain a copy of the full judgement (only a verbal judgement was given) and await the subsequent advice from our legal advisers. It is therefore suggested that you take no action until the written judgement is received (expected to take 8-10 weeks) when a further circular will be issued.
