Great thing to hear, slipknot95758!!

[BigSig]

Well things have certainly changes here in SJ. Can you imagine your odds a few years ago slipknot? The Sheriff has certainly taken big steps in the right direction and he should be appreciated and supported.

whoa..
no longer needed? im not following why you are throwing in the towel

Sort of, I spent 16 years as a LEO, left before I reached retirement age so at that time I did not qualify for retirement credentials. One of the guys I worked with heard I had applied for a permit via the SO and told me about;

The law enforcement officers safety act.

I met definition a "qualified retired law enforcement officer" having over 10 years of service and left service in good standing.

Contacted the current Sgt. in charge of ID's and within 2 weeks had my ID which is good in all 50 states, no fees, qualify once a year.

BG investigator called today, I applied on May 21st. They wanted written policy from my employer telling them I could or could not carry at work, not just my verbal that I would not carry at work.

Told the BG investigator I no longer have need for their permit and he could move on to the next person.

seat belt conviction??????????? SJCSO is looking into seat belt infractions...no wonder it takes so long.

[Shootslikeagirl]

Interviewed way back 5/30
Got a call from investigator this morning. He just reviewed some prior police calls to our home ( a burglary and an ambulance call out) as well as a prior seat belt conviction. Said still need his report written and then a captain and the Sheriff Moores approval but we should hear back within a week.
Getting closer... Looks like it should happen just under 9 months.

3 months and........

nothing

I went down to apply, but my SJSCO approval came through first. I live in Manteca.

[C.Espinoza]

For peeps asking about Manteca: the city requires an additional 4 hour course of instruction done by the city, with an additional shooting qualification done at the Ripon PD range. The additional course is held 2 times per year, and is required to maintain your permit, every year, I think its $35.

That sounds confusing in my head: 16 hour course (whatever that costs based on location) + 4 Hour Manteca PD qualification course for $35 every year.

SJCSO CCW is valid for 2 years after completion of the 16hour course, and then 4 hour renewal every 2 years.

They might have plans to change that, but I know they are doing a 4 hour class at the end of this month.

Did you go through the process yourself? Or is this info from sources?
