A word from the Riverside Sheriff’s Department about CCWs in Riverside County
Directly from Deputy Searles:
“
Effective immediately, all access to sheriff’s facilities, our lobbies/waiting rooms will be closed to the public, this includes all sheriff’s live scan facilities in an attempt to limit the potential of our employees being exposed to the C19-virus.
All in person background interviews will be done on the telephone. Please be available for our telephone call during the date/time you were scheduled to meet with the CCW Unit. If we are unable to contact you, unfortunately this will delay your process.
After the telephone interview is completed, we will mail a live scan form upon request only. Until we resume those services, private institutions may have those services still available.
Our CCW training and range qualifications are cancelled during this period. If desired, there are 17 vendors for these services listed on our website.
For renewal applicants who already have a digital photo and digital fingerprint on file in our new system, your permit will be mailed to you upon approval. If you do not have the aforementioned on file your permit will not be issued until the sheriff’s facilities are reopened.
For those initial applicants who already have a digital photo and a digital fingerprint in our new system, will be mailed their permit upon approval. Actual issuance of the permit will require in-person contact and will be very limited during this time period. Please don’t show up to our facility, we will let you know with a personal phone call.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you in advance for your understanding.
“
Please do what you can to help spread the above message for the sheriff.
