well it's nice we got an answer, hope everything is okay...

Um, just received this from OCSD as to it my question to them of it taking so long for final approval:

No, it does not take this long. However, we have new administration and everything is being delayed. Someone will get back to you soon.
Thank you for your patience.

Oh, that's good to hear I guess. I had asked for a update the other day and got the same, " You have been submitted for final approval"

Yup. I'd received that same response a few weeks ago. This time I queried my interviewing deputy asking if my wait-time for final was normal. He forwarded it on asking for a response.

I know, not the best protocol but he did offer to answer any questions. And, it did elicit a more detailed response.

Same here. Except mine said "Your file has been submitted for approval" I haven't received my conditional approval yet, but I'm doing the training anyway.

Interview was April 14, LiveScan was February 25.

I meant to mention this a while back. A friend of mine who was a captain with OCSD recently retired. I asked him who was going to take his place in his command and he said it would be the captain who is in charge of the Personnel Standards Division (PSD), which CCW's happen to fall under.

In a nutshell, the former CCW captain has transferred and there is a now a new captain in charge of CCW's. He may be slowing things down, have other priorities or he could be involving himself in the approval process. We know that the LT has been the one traditionally approving permits, but LT's report to captains and who know how the new captain wants to operate.

Thanks for inside view Doheny

I have email saying Im approved, I submitted 3 mo early and my permit expires in less than 2 weeks. I emailed OCSD and just received same reply about administrative issues and I may go past my expiration date but will get appt.

If they are changing personnel will the new administration start denying people? I know Hutchens sets the policy ,but I wonder if she'll give free reign to whoever does the final approval.

Its All Good!

Doesn't look like they'll start denying! 2 days after receiving the email on administration delays, I just received the here's your appointment next week to come pick your CCW email.

Looks like the we may be past the change in admin delay.
