CELO filling out my ffl 03

[tonyt22]

Im filling out my ffl forum and trying to figure out who my cleo
Would it be John McMahon for san bernardino County or Jason Cunningham captain for apple valley ca

I'm sorry if this has been asked a bunch could find a answer

[tonyt22]

So city sheriff or county, or state

[P5Ret]

If you are in an incorporated city with their own department not a contract with the county for LE, the chief of police is the chief law enforcement officer. If it is a city with a contract or unincorporated towns it is the sheriff.

[tonyt22]

In California, the sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer in any given county. If you live in San Bernardino County, then Sheriff John McMahon is your CLEO.

Thank you was having a hard time figuring it out was going to call in Monday if I didn't get any answers here

Sheriff John McMahon

"The city of Hesperia has contracted with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department for its police services since 1988."

True, but not relevant

While this is 100% correct, if the OP is within the incorporated limits of the city he still should use the city chief of police. The fact that the city contracts for police services isn't relevant to the completion of the form.

It is totally dependent as to who is doing the record keeping. Many contract cities will have the S.O. maintaining records as part of the contract and a cost saving measure.
Best to call the S.O. records first.
