Anyone know what kind of time frame from submitting proceed to training documents to pick up?

You can check the spreadsheet with a bunch of datapoints from Calgunners and add your own if you wish. Link below..

So it's been nearly two months since I submitted training docs. This seems abnormal compared to the timelines I'm seeing on here. Do you guys think I should send them another email or keep waiting?

For anyone going through the renewal process, I will put my timeline below.

Also, there is a thread on LASD Renewals...

https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=1858622

- 8/4/23 Permit Expires
- 03/17/23 Submit Renewal Application
- 06/11/23 Phone Interview
- 06/12/23 PTT Email Received
- 06/26/23 Training Docs Submitted
- 07/25/23 Picking up renewed license

The renewal process was completely painless and everything was done in a timely manner. Getting my renewal license before my current one expires. Hope everyone renewing experiences the same!

Just a heads up for everyone waiting. I emailed the ccw unit yesterday asking if they received my training docs on 6/26. They responded just now ?Your file is pending final review. The minimum time frame for this is 6 weeks. You will be contacted when your file has been approved and we are ready to issue your license.

Sometimes they don't respond with a "training documents received" email.

For my initial application, they acknowledged/emailed me back stating they received the documents. For my renewal they did not. I just got a call from an unknown number to schedule pick up.

Still waiting for my interview call, app was delivered 6/28/22 checked cashed in early Sept 22. I emailed the CCW unit got this response:

Your application has been received. You will be contacted when your file has been assigned to an investigator. We are working diligently to process all applications and they will be assigned in the order received.

Bro yes. I’m literally the same as you. I checked with them this week to confirm all of that.

Still waiting for my interview call.

Seems like most timelines show having the in-person interview before doing a Livescan. I turned in my application on 6/29/22. I never was contacted for an interview. Earlier this year when I check the LASD Sheriff CCW page it said for applicants who turned application before the change to local PD's, to complete a Livescan which I did on 4/19/23. A few weeks ago I called the CCW Unit since my email was not responded to. I was told that they thought they would start processing applications from 6/22 this month. I still haven't heard anything and have never been called to an interview? From posts here, it seems that some have finished the process who submitted applications after I did!

Can anyone tell me if they received an email from the CCW Unit or just a call, and if you missed the call, did they leave a message? What did Caller-ID show? Thanks

Nothing about what you've written here makes me think you should worry. This all sounds pretty par for the course.

Some people are lucky and get called for the interview <1yr after app submission. More commonly, people are getting their call around 1yr or longer. Mine was a year and a few days.

You should expect a call, not an email (unless they've changed the process). Calls have come from different numbers. Mine was a 213 area code. Some people have had "no caller ID" or other numbers.

Doing your Livescan early won't get you to the interview faster but it could speed up the process AFTER your interview.

They clearly have your application so now you just need to wait. They'll get to it. Don't expect your timeline to be the same as someone else's.

I walked my app into a station on 7/1/22 (last year).
Got a call to schedule an interview on 6/26/23 (a yearish later).

Only received a phone call/ voicemail from an "unknown number", no email.
The deputy left a call back number.

I never got a call. Just an email.

So it's been nearly two months since I submitted training docs. This seems abnormal compared to the timelines I'm seeing on here. Do you guys think I should send them another email or keep waiting?

On the same boat as you, I got my PTT on 5/6/23, responded same day with training docs. After waiting 3 days I followed up with an email to confirm receipt of training docs. Did not get a reply. Waited a week and sent another email to which they replied that training docs were received (5/16/23).

Followed up on 7/19 and got the standard ? Your file is pending final review. You will be contacted when your file has been approved and we are ready to issue your license?

Here?s my timeline

-2/6/22 - Sent application
-11/29/22 - Interview
-12/16/22 - All Livescan cleared
- 5/6/23 - Proceed to Training
- 5/16/23 - Received training docs

How many LA County CCW are extant at this time? Active I mean?

anyone know of any good renewal training classes close to sgv? I been contacting those on the list and they all seem to want me to take their 8 hour class when 4 is the requirement. thanks in advance

I worked up the courage to call the folks at the LASD CCW unit today.

Timeline / details:

- Submitted my app directly to the Sheriff's station near me, last week of June '22.
- The department received my app in October '22.
- The department is currently processing September '22 applications.
- I performed my Live Scan about three weeks ago.
- The nice person on the phone said I have about a 1+ month wait until I get a call for an interview. She said she would also note down that I've completed by Live Scan as well.

Thanks to everyone on this forum / thread with the updates - hopefully this helps ease your wait. I was merely anxious that my application got lost. I wasn't able to track my money order on the Western Union site for some reason, I had no idea if it had been cashed or not.

He?s not exactly close, he holds his shooting portion at evans gun world in orange. But his fees are reasonable and if you are renewing only he won?t make you stay for the class.

I took my initial class and renewal through him and it was straight to the point
