OK guys, this is a question about the NJSP regarding the background check that the towns now require you to pay 18 dollars for.

 

It is about to go on 6 weeks for my replacement FID card and 3 pistol permits. Tomorrow I am stopping by my local PD to inquire of the status and where it stands. I am going to ask directly what the hold up is. If their response is, they havn't received the background check yet from the NJSP yet here is my question.

 

Am I allowed to call the NJSP and inquire the status of my background check? Because if I am allowed, and they say, yes it's been done already the crapola is going to hit the fan. I got this run around when I originally got my FID and I'm sure they are going to pull this crap again but since I'm more informed about the process now I have stuff to fight back with.

 

Just want to know if I can contact the NJSP etc.

 

Also who has the link to the code that states each town has 30 days to approve or deny an application etc?

 

Thanks for the help

My friend is actually having this problem as we speak. i told him to call the NJSP and ask what the deal was since his PD keeps saying we havnt received the background check yet. The NJSP firmly stated it takes about 3 days, thats 3 DAYS! for them to file the check and send it out. He then called the cheif of police and explained to him the situation the Lt. was BSing him, got a call back almost immediately and it is now being taken care of.

 

NJSP will not give out info regarding a background check, but they will tell you the same thing they told my friend, normally 3days is all it takes from the initial request. This was a call made today, so this info is accurate.

 

So what does this mean... it means the PD has had his background check for months! Since morpho sends out the prints....that means they have had it since then end of august. meaning they have been outright lying to him for 3 months.

 

FYI they will throw every excuse at you if you bring up the 30 day rule, they will literally rip up and throw away a reference letter, just to say they never got it, wham that's all they need to be exempt from the law...

 

I'm not knockin the PoPo, god knows my PD was excellent in regards, but some of them are just really messed up.
