The CHP wait

(1/3) > >>

Theodore:
Have lurked on the forum reading some of the CHP wait threads with more than a passing interest, as I applied for mine back in March.  I reached the 45-day mark this week and had a pleasant conversation with a lady at the State Patrol office this afternoon.  Some interesting snippets:

-applications submitted around mid-March are just now reaching the stage where they send them off to the FBI;
-the State Patrol is working overtime to get caught up (it was after regular business hours when she returned my call from earlier in the day);
-two new people have been hired to assist in processing applications;
-they are getting a lot of pressure from above to get it done;
-it will probably be another two weeks before it turns up.

She did put a "rush" on mine so maybe it will be here sooner, but that doesn't help the other people waiting past 45 days, as everyone seems to be.

I am glad to know the State Patrol is working hard to get caught up and said so in the letter I sent to the governor, attorney general, and ombudsman, but we should still expect the State Patrol to comply with the statutes and issue at 45 days.  I went through the same thing in Iowa when that state went to shall-issue, so this isn't new, but it's still a bit frustrating.

Politeness, patience, and pressure will get us there - eventually!

NENick:
I wonder if they're worried about keeping the lid on the delays. Which government agency can you name that says they'll bump you up and put a rush on something?

gsd:
I have 27 days as of today until i hit 45 days.

I'm kinda wondering what exactly they are doing with the applications for the first 45 days? ? ? ? ?

UPCrawfish:
Application submited April 2...    The 45 day count is May 16. 
Do I honestly  expect it in the mail within a few days after the 16th,  No.  Will I be making that polite, respectful phone call within a few days after the 16th, Yes.
