The policy for the forum says nothing US-related unless it's really major, well this is about as major as it gets: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/three-former-police-officers-and-former-assistant-district-attorney-arrested-connecton

The procedure for getting a pistol licence in NYC is very similar to the procedure for getting an FAC in the UK (and the procedure for getting a rifle/shotgun licence is very similar to a SGC). This scandal indicates that having local police running the show is not the best idea. The view I've heard in the past is that they're able to get better intelligence on the applicants because they're local - but they're also easier to corrupt.
