You will need this permit if you work for a security firm and have been nominated by the licence holder to sign firearms in and out to armed security guards. This permit does not authorise the use or acquisition of firearms. If you hold a category H firearms licence (security guard), you do not require this permit.
All firearms are recorded in a register. They are signed out to armed security guards at the beginning of each period of duty and signed back in at the end. This process helps ensure the safe keeping of all firearms.
