Picked up my permit this morning!

My (LASD) deputy forgot to have me sign the page as well back in April. They did not realize this until October during final review. If you have the email/phone number of the deputy who interviewed you, wouldn't hurt to ask

So I just had mine on Oct 31st. Here is a summary: (Los Angeles) - 1 Glock

I submitted my application (mailed it in) on July 26th and got a call from the receptionist to schedule my interview on Oct 15th. She was nice but gave me the wrong info.

-She told me I need to bring 3 copies of the applications (a heck of a lot of paper). This was not true, only needed one (still brought 3).

-The location of the Police Academy was wrong, but I called the number she provided me an officer let me know where to go (ironically he was my interviewer)

- Since I submitted it in July, they updated their applications for Aug, so I had to bring a new Aug application and a new check for $58 (the $30 I sent in July will not be cashed in). I didn't have a check on hand, but went to a USPS store after the interview, got a money order check, and brought it back.

- The interview was really chill, just asking the same questions in the applications, with yes and no answers.

IMPORTANT: Because of a June 2022 supreme court ruling in New York, the LAPD no longer requires you to explain why you need a CCW. I had my reason why I needed one, and brought documents to show proof- but the question never came up (never had to provide any of my documents)

It was just the applications questions and then my officer gave me a forum that I needed to provide for a live scan (they didn't have one on-site)

Drove home, and maybe 2 hours later found a live scan company in a Korean gift shop and got it done. Paid around $124.

*Probable Cause for a CCW is no longer required to ask for the Los Angeles county. You just need to be a good moral character.

Anyway, the live scan is almost done (CA, FBI finished) I'm just waiting on the "Firearm" scan (how long does that take for one gun)

Hope this helps those in Los Angeles. I've heard this county is one of the toughest and longest ones in CA. I was expecting a call in Aug 2023, but man that first phone call was out of the blue.

Has anyone else had a similar experience in LA CCW processes or did I just get lucky so far?

Is this LAPD? This is the first LAPD interview I've read about

Would you mind clarifying which department you applied through, LAPD or LASD? Sounds like you applied through LAPD, however they only began accepting applications about a month ago.

Sounds like LAPD

It's weird because they told me that the fee will still be deducted from the whole CCW final fee that everyone has to pay after completing the process.

I guess it's a little extra money for them, given by applicants who fail to pass the background check.

Still sounds like LAPD to me. LAPD applicant fees is $53 at the time of interview while LASD is indeed $30. Also getting an interview that quick with LASD is unheard of. Are you in LA city?

Thanks!

No, so what happened was I got a call 2 weeks after getting my "training docs received email", saying that there was a document missing a signature in my file, and they needed a utility bill (interviewing deputy told me lease was fine since I had just moved and didn't have one yet). She emailed me what needed to be signed when she called. Printed, signed, and scanned back to them

Interviewed today, just went over application filled out a questionnaire similar to the questions you answer when you buy a firearm. They didn't even ask for employment verification even though it was in the email of required docs. I still gave them my business license just in case. Was told to proceed to livescan. Do they already run a background on you before you interview? I kinda have a feeling they do.

Also they said hold off on the live scan until you come in for your interview

Sorry if I'm just trying to catch some more possible info, but im going to make myself sound like a *** by assuming that you mailed/submitted app in July of 2022?

I had mailed my app July 15th, 2022 to LASD with a USPS M/O of $30 which recently just got cashed and no call yet of any spam or unknown number for possible interview appt.
