Re-applied and mailed my application on Saturday, 6/25/22 as soon as I saw the recent rulings

Application was delivered to LASD on Monday, 6/27/22

I wasn't checking every day, but some time at the end of September/early October 2022 my money order was cashed
No word since then...

I emailed LASD earlier this month to make sure I didn't miss any calls or emails, but all they said was my app was received and I'll be contacted when assigned to an investigator

Also earlier this month, figured enough's enough and applied with LAPD. No response from them either, so I called like other folks suggested and they manually put me on the interview waiting list... 1 year out.

Hoping for a call from LASD in the next few weeks...months have gone by with me forgetting I even applied and that totally sucks.

I also wanted to ask about how the livescan works. Apologies if this has been asked, but I didn't see it in the last handful of pages. Some folks suggested to do the live scan since we should be getting the call soon. Do I just go and do a live scan on my own, with no reference # or anything? Are all live scans CA/ FBI/DOJ/etc., or do I need to ask for something specific and have them send the results to somewhere specific? Again, apologies for my ignorance but noticed a lot of people got their live scan before they were even called for an interview. Thanks!

Download the form from the LASD CCW website 'Request For Live Scan'. The company completing the live scan will fill out the bottom portion. They will write in the ATI # assigned to you.

[Maustro]

Thank you! For some reason, Calguns is asking me to log in every time I try to quote your post, so I can't actually quote you.

I looked it up and edited my message but you were too quick, hah! Appreciate it. I'll get the livescan started

Edit: live scan submitted. CA/FBI cleared immediately. Pending firearms

Nothing out of the ordinary here. I would suggest (no offense) you remove ALL expectations and get ready for a 1.5-2yr process. It took them 1yr and 4 days from application submission to when they finally called for an interview. I applied in March 2022. There are all sorts of variables, some others who applied after me were called before me. I may have just been unlucky. But, from what I can gather, wait times are just getting longer and longer. Seems they may be making improvements to their process which will speed things up but the backlog is so great that I think it’ll be a while until people start actually seeing the results.

I would not jump the gun and do your live scan yet as it could still be 3+ months until you get your call for interview.

I wouldn?t worry you’ve been overlooked or your app was lost until at least a year from application. Could even be longer.

[Letitrip]

Maustro- I submitted my application during the same week as you and no calls yet.

LASD is just like any other work place. You have some employees who are efficient and take pride in a job well done. Then, you have that lazy *** who makes everyone else look bad. I pray my application is given to someone who actually tries to get stuff done.

The go getters are not typically on desk duty processing ccw applications. These jobs are usually for the ones who, in the past, wanted to coast a 9-5/M-F style job, or were assigned a cushy role as a favor for knowing someone. Maybe now this has changed due to the demands? idk

[Tripplet918]

6 weeks in from submitting my proficiency tests, the last step.

Two weeks in from when LASD reached out to tell me they still needed a copy of a utility bill and a marriage certificate coz it was in the name of my wife.

1.5 years in from my original application, August 2021.

Sure hope I get it soon.

Congratulations. What 3 pistols are on your CCW list?

[arbi]

Any updates from the ones who are waiting for the call for the interview for the month of July?

I submitted mine to the local SD and waiting for the call.

[DB2896]

Just got back from my live scan appt. The lady there has been doing this a while said she sees a lot of live scans for CCW. She took a guess that most coming in right now waited 10-12mon before getting the call for interview.

I got the call about two weeks prior.
Long long waits for some of us. Almost two years!

For those of you who applied, what was the main form of contact? Telephone or email? I submitted my application but I realized that there is no where on the form where you can provide your email address. I see since people are getting contacted via email. How were you able to provide your email address to LASD?

You give your email either on the phone when called to schedule interview or at interview later.

I finally called the CCW dept. They said that its in final review with the Lieutenant which was handed for review on March 16th. Strange because i handed my cert of completion in November.
Do you think its because none of my guns are on the Roster? They used to be but no longer available to buy in California.

The LASD has added some text to their CCW website. Instructing people who met certain application submittal requirements to download Live Scan form then initiate Live Scan process.

[Mikeg2503]

Anyone get calls to pick up recently? I see 1 or 2, seems like it's slowed down from a few weeks ago 🤔

Why LASD telling to go to their web site for ?list of local vendors? for Live Scan. I looked that list for my zip code and there are just couple listed. In reality there are way more. Do we have to go to places which listed on DOJ web site?

As far as I know, any Live Scan vender will do.

I did, missed the first one Tuesday and they called again Friday. I know someone else who received a call for pick up too last week. However my pick up date is a lot sooner than theirs.

Its very confusing why this happens. My buddy got called one week and his P/U date was set for end of April. Week later people here are posted they were called that week and P/U 2 weeks before him. idk LASD system is flawed

[Mikeg2503]

Yeah it's all over the place. My girl got the call to pick up 2 weeks ago when like 5 or 6 other peeps got the call to pick up towards the end of April and she got scheduled for the beginning of next month. I'm over here still waiting for my call. She got her training received email 2 weeks before me. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks behind her I'm hoping I get a call 🤣

[j.liu]

yeah, it looks like it really is all over the place, I'm just glad I got a call back so soon. I saw some others who missed calls and didn't get a call back until many many weeks again later. I even emailed them after the first initial call I missed, and they confirmed they never even called me yet lol

Yeah I seen that post of yours. Did you get the fall from lasd or was it from the 3rd party people? I seen 1 post where they called someone and gave them a number to call to schedule their appt. Wish I knew the number I'd call it and say yeah I was told to call to schedule appt lmao

My call was directly from the sheriff department i forget the deputy?s name. It looks like they have specific ?lists? of who to call because when they confirmed my time and day they mentioned noting it on their list as well it took a while because they were flipping through sheets of paper from what i heard then some mouse clicking haha

What do we put in for the OCA number, or do we just leave that blank?

Right on good to know lol. Guess I'll have to keep on waiitng I've yet to get the call. Guess I'll be waiting the regular 8-10 weeks after training received email.

I also submitted the same time as you and Maustro (check was also cashed same time Maustro mentioned in his earlier post).

So far still no updates or calls. I did call LASD to clarify an item on my application and they said to just talk to the investigator once I'm assigned one. Other than that, they just said I was in their queue waiting to have someone assigned to me and will hear back when it's my turn.

For reference:
6/24/22 - App mailed
6/28/22 - App delivered
9/16/22 - Check cashed
11/8/22 - My aforementioned call with LASD

[igotyourcar]

I missed an "unknown" call so I called the CCW unit today hoping it was them that called. I was told no they did not call.

The lady I spoke with advised they are working on applications that were input in July and mine was input in October(my app was mailed and received at the beginning of July). Just to clarify with her I stated "applications that were input in July, not received in July" and she said that was correct.

So it feels like I have another 3-4 month wait to even get a call to interview. This will put me at about a year to even get an interview.

If you are waiting for a call, base your timeframe on when your check was cashed(my money order was cashed beginning on Oct), not when you sent it in.

Yup. Year and 4 days until I got my call for interview. Soonest interview sir they had available was 10days after they called which has given me a little time to get the live scan process started. So far, CA and FBI are complete and just waiting on firearms to finish. I?ll be a little surprised if firearms is complete prior to my interview this upcoming Thur but technically possible.

Unfortunately, it makes sense.
Well, this gives me a chance to do more research on which holster I'm going to purchase.
