Which explains why the only prompt service i received was from him, because he is not part of the policing side of things. This is a rough hypothesis but makes sense to me, happy to be proven wrong

I had my own renewal and appliction for E Cat done by a civvy guy, but Ive been a referee for 2 other people recently and visited the cop shop to do one interview with a plain clothes guy and one phone interview with an actual cop for the other, so I dont know how it works really, although the cop interview was for my mates app, who is also a cop, so maybe a peer review thing
