Online process introduced for certificate holders to surrender their firearms or shotguns

From time to time we realise that firearm or shotgun certificate holders will wish to surrender their certified weapons.

In order to help this process, we have introduced an online process to try and ensure that our enquiry office staff are ready and able to receive the weapons.

Firearm/shotgun certificate holders, or families who may be dealing with their estate, can now make arrangements via our website. 

This process should NOT be used by anyone finding a firearm. In these situations we would ask that any of the following contact methods are used:
• Facebook– send us a private message to /DerbyshireConstabulary
• Twitter– direct message our contact centre on @DerPolContact
• Phone – call us on 101.

Or in an emergency call 999
