How to speed up Riverside permit process

[Sleighter]

One of the biggest issues currently facing Riverside residents when it comes to getting their LTC permit is the timeframe it's taking from the first call to getting an interview, and then from the interview to getting your permit.

Straight from the CCW unit, the biggest complaint is that people are applying with incomplete paperwork and required forms. Then, when they do send in stuff that they are missing they do it 1 piece at a time.

So here are the suggestions: Fill out everything completely before your interview, and take in everything that is required. Failing to provide paperwork that is required is a waste of time for everyone and will ultimately slow down your process and make it longer for everyone else.

If you are missing documents that are needed to complete your file, collect everything that is missing and send it all in at the same time. That way the deputies can pull your file 1x and enter everything that's missing. Having to pull a single file 5-6 times to enter one document is a waste.

Hey!! That's cheating.

Does RivCo SO still illegally require the 3 character reference letters?

[Sleighter]

They do still require the letters as evidence of GMC. It is faster for them to do so then to interview your neighbors and is seen as less intrusive to the applicant.

In many cases, I feel like the process takes 6 months as a means to filter the folks who aren't really mature enough to plan a lengthy process and be patient.... just my opinion....

While that may be a consequence of the current wait, I'm sure that the deputies would be happier with a faster process and no backlog.

I'm going to add the above quote to the Riverside Concealed Carry Info thread's OP.

If they don't already, RSO may want to include a 1 sheet check off list where all the items required are listed and numbered w/a check off box next to it and at the top say not to turn in application until all items below have been included. That may help. Completed applications will go into one pile, incomplete into another....

If there's a coversheet included, they might be able to just add the check off list below the introductory info.

They have one it's page #6 of the Permit Process Instructions.

IMHO...anyone that comes with incomplete paperwork should be sent home and or rescheduled. It most cases the applicant has about 4 to 6 months to prep for the interview.

How long was the whole process? I interviewed on May 14th and completed my qual shoot on the 24th of June. I am expecting at least a couple more months but was curious how long yours took.
