Thank you in advance for any responses.

A few people have had good luck with getting it pretty quickly. Someone posted that in a recent class they were told that they've been doing them in about 4-5 months.

Is the delay in the livescan because they (SBCSO) does it? I ask because in OC we can go to any vendor we want.

Big Jake,

I cant comment on the reasons why. It just is what it is at the moment. But it is relatively quick...

The long poles in the tent are:
1. Background check, some take longer than othere because of a name that is somewhat common.
2. Employer verification- most employers do not give it top priority.

No, at this time you are only allowed to carry a maximum of a 10-round magazine until further notice

Because idiots had to keep calling and pushing the issue... standard capacity mags legally purchased are legal to use... but the idiots had to call and force the issue.... Now there is policy. STOP CALLING, YOU IDIOTS!

Regarding the employment verification;
I have found one of my direct managers that is willing to sign and fill out the paperwork. Will they send it directly to HR? I work for a very large company that will definitely drag their feet on this, if even fill it out at all.

Could someone please explain the employer verification? What is that? We don't have that in OC!

It's just a few questions, how long you worked there, is there any reason they know of that aren't responsible and honest etc.

Is used to help determine if you are a person of "good moral character", which is a requirement for issuance of a CA LTC permit. [PC 26150(a)(1)]

It seems to me, been a while, but I provided the address and name of the individual.
But my old company, did I mention I am retired, is huge. My boss worked remotely, but his mailing address was in a high rise in St. Louis.
Mail is delivered via a robotic mail cart. They wound up calling him, but only after waiting 4 months.

Hopefully your situation is somewhat easier for th he manager to get his mail in a timely manner.
Side note: I discussed at length the CCW permit and why with my boss, it prompted him to get his own CCW.

Yes, I did read it. Seems like an odd requirement when so many agencies don't require it but ok. I'll pass the information on to my buddy. Thanks for the replies everyone!

I listed my employers main address and the verification letter was sent directly to our HR. I was contacted by HR about the letter and told that the questions would be best answered by my direct superior. I gave my manager a heads up and HR sent it directly to him to answer and return to HR so they could send it back to the sheriff‘S office that same day.

My guess would be your HR might be similar and may just forward it to your manager. It wouldn’t hurt to contact your HR dept to let them know you are expecting a time sensitive letter from the sheriff.

They seem to be moving very quickly.

I would say employment verification really helps with this. Supervisor was expecting it and got back in the mail next day. I was not expecting the call for a couple more weeks. Seen the call from 909 and got super excited! 😃😃😃

Good to hear.
I was at work and missed what I assume was “the call” from one of the deputies last Thursday. He left a VM asking that I call back and talk to Sarah. Hoping it won’t take a full 2 weeks to hear back from Sarah, but I’m thinking it might be a good wait.
