Hello All, Thank you very much for the great advice! The town is Boonton. Last night I happened to be talking to my neighbor who informed me that within the time I have been trying to hand in the app, he has been able to hand in a P2P and have it returned from the same detective with no problem. So now the fire is really burning for me to right this. I was trying to avoid having any beef with anyone as it is a very small town and I am friendly with a lot of people on the PD but this has gotten ridiculous. Sounds like I will be writing the Mayor and Chief. As I type this I am printing out my phone records to have documentation of each time I have contacted the PD in regards to this matter. By the way http://www.nj2as.com/delays is extremely informative! Thank you all again and I will update as to the progress. Sincerely, M

I have been trying to meet with my local PD's detective bureau to turn in my FID application since May/June. According to my town's website you must download the appropriate State Police forms and then contact the Detectives to set up an appointment to meet and hand in the application. After calling and leaving messages with the bureau for weeks I decided to go to the PD with the paperwork and hand it in without an appointment. I was turned away by the dispatcher and told to call the detectives and make an appointment. Immediately after I ran into the Chief of Police and explained my situation and his reply was "well they are very busy with applications just call again to meet with them". It is now November and I still cannot get the Detectives to respond to my voicemails and have been unable to get my application in to begin the process. I even met with the Chief again (in passing) and got the exact same answer as before. I contacted an aquaintence on the PD and asked him to speak with the detectives to let them know I was calling again (Monday 11/4) and to please ask them to respond to my voicemail. I still have yet to receive a phone call back from them. I searched the State website and found the FIU (State's investigation unit) and am thinking of giving them a call tomorrow to see if they can help. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to go about this? 6 months is ridiculous to just hand in an application, knowing that it most likely will take just as long (though against the law) to get the ID. Thanks in advance for any help.
