I would go down to the courthouse in Hayward they will have the forms and the clerks are very helpful just pull a number and wait about 10 to 30 mins.

I filed lots of stuff that form is not the right one from what I read.

And they have the form waiver for court fees as well it goes to a judge to approve last I've seen it done.

Sheriff Ahern made ACSO international news!

Ahern made Plummer proud! He’s made the SO the topic of international news!

Alameda County Sheriff's Office removed 47 deputies from law enforcement duties after it was revealed they received unsatisfactory psychological exam results

The 47 deputies represent 5 percent of the 1,000-member force

A spokesperson said retesting will begin in the next 'couple months,' and will be performed by an outside firm

A former deputy who was charged with murder reportedly failed his exam before he was hired on to the Sheriff's Office

Anonymous sources claim the exam process under current sheriff Gregory Ahern is flawed

Ahern has forged his legacy….

She lost that claim a day or two ago.

I was tired of waiting as today marks 30 days for me so I sent an email to inquire and received this reply "You are queue 1045. You will called for an interview middle of 2023 or maybe later than that", aren't they supposed to approve or deny within 90 days??? They seriously think they can tread over SCOTUS ruling and keep people waiting more than a year?

Thought it was within 90 days.

Not a lawyer but I believe it is the following:

Cal. Penal Code section 26205 states:

“The licensing authority shall give written notice to the applicant indicating if the license under this article is approved or denied. The licensing authority shall give this notice within 90 days of the initial application for a new license or a license renewal, or 30 days after receipt of the applicant’s criminal background check from the Department of Justice, whichever is later. If the license is denied, the notice shall state which requirement was not satisfied.”

An applicant who applied 4 days after the ruling just had an interview and was told the process will take 6 more months to a year. That's unacceptable.

They have the ability to streamline the process but yet they don't, there is 3 months left in the year and they need to give all of us good standing citizens our CCW's that we applied for.

Are you sure this is right? I applied two days after the ruling and I was told that I won't even have an interview until late 2022. My assumption is that the process will take at least a year.

Update on the process:

The next step is running a background check on me before the livescan. No idea how long that will take.

1: Application Submission - 6/24/2022
2: Interview - 9/27/2022
3: Livescan - TBD
4: CCW Training - TBD
5: Psych Eval - TBD
6: ASCO Training/Qual - TBD
7: CCW Issuance - TBD

That's what some are saying that applied on 6/28 I think they are going in batches and not in exact order. I applied the night of and some people had interviews before me that applied days later.


What's sad in comparison in the last 2 months I received my New Hampshire in 10 days and my Oregon in 12 days provided training and cleared background and mental health record check because it's clean and I'm an old man.

That's disheartening. It seems apparent that ACSO's strategy is to delay the livescan as long as possible as a way of artificially structuring compliance with PC 26205. I mean, if they don't even let you take the livescan, they can just say that they haven't violated the law because the clock hasn't started with regard to the "whichever is later" language of 26205.

I can't imagine that this tactic would hold up in court post-Bruen... Hopefully the psych eval process isn't jammed up with their need to put their own deputies through it again.

They should already have run a background check on you if you already had your interview. They had my background check printed out and asked me questions about it during my interview, including questions about traffic accidents I was in from another state (accident was not my fault, so not sure why that even came up in the interview).
