In addition to this Sussex Police Authority will discuss introducing a small team of members to specifically inspect the operation of firearms licensing in Sussex. This team of members will use this opportunity to scrutinise the processes in place in Sussex and help ensure that standards are upheld and that lessons from Cumbria are heeded. If this proposal is approved it is expected that the team would be put in place immediately to begin the inspection process.
