I'm working on a project that may ultimately benefit all of us, but I need copies of the reference letters sent out by the local PD's, or those simply given to the applicant to give to their references. So if you have a received a reference letter directly from a local PD, to complete for a friend or relative, or if you are the applicant and were given reference forms, please scan the blank form (if you have one that is already filled out, simply scan and redact the personal info - I'm interested only in the questions themselves and the format) and then PM me. I will give you an e-mail address where you can send it to me as an attachment. In your e-mail to me please specify from which PD this form came.

 

I really don't know if this is going to go anywhere, but until I get a look at a sample of what is being used, I'm dead in the water. Please help me out. Thanks.

 

Adios,

Thanks to all those that have submitted forms - please keep them coming, there are over 500 municipalities in this state and I'd like to have a nice cross section of forms. Beyond the reference forms, if your PD gives you anything beyond the Application (SPS-033), the Mental Health Check (SP-066) the Criminal Background check (SBI - 212A), I'd like to see that form also. We have found some PD's requiring applicants to sign local blank releases. These abuses have to stop.

 

What I am most interested in at this point, is for a reference form issued by the NJSP. If somebody out there does not have a local PD and uses the closest NJSP barracks as their source for FPID or P2P, I'd dearly love to get a copy of the reference form they send out. You would save me having to get one via OPRA, which I feel they would have to comply with, since it is a document distributed to the public, but it would be much easier to get one from one of you.

 

So keep those cards and letters coming. We appreciate the effort.

 

Adios,

I will not have access to a scanner till Monday, but I'll shoot over a copy of the "newly designed" reference form for CHPD...

 

PM your e-mail address, Thanks.

I'll try and get you a few.

Would you like the 2 page questionaire the Belmar wants me to fill out thats in addition to the normal forms?

Absolutely! PM inbound! Thanks!

IIRC, Egg Harbor Township's ref letters pretty much ask the same charachter related questions as STS 33. Something to the effect of, "How long have you known the applicant? Do you know anything that shows the applicant isn't safe enough to handle a firearm (I'm not sure of the wording but its something like that)."

 

Its only like 5 or 6 yes or no questions. If I can get my hands on one, i'll be glad to help!

I think it would be an interesting exercise in itself to write to all the townships and ask them to send their form, or their complete application packet. I wonder how many would reply?

Grant:

 

Once they see that it is being sent outside their jurisdiction, I doubt many would comply with the request. I do intend to attempt to get the "standardized form" referenced in the NJSP Guide, via an OPRA request.

Scanner is acting weird. Soon as I get it fixed Ill email it

Here's the Manalapan blanket release of information form. ManalapanPD-Handgun-App11.pdf

 

I'm emailing you Glassboro. The file is too big to post.

http://www.monroetwppolice.org/firearm_permits.cfm Bob you can go here to get theese forms .

Bob,

 

Check your PM's.

j0n probably has the one from Franklin township, I hope he can provide it to you as he's already working with the SP to get rid of it as far as I know.

Bob, PM'ing you, I have one I just received today, scanned/names redacted and ready to email.

Emailed, hope it helps. I'm assuming I do not have to provide my SSN even though the form asks for it.

Supposed to be voluntary, but since we're dealing with PD's that make-up their own rules, who knows? Usually it is good to differentiate yourself, in case there is a BG with a similar name. Thanks for the form.

 

The rest of you, please keep them coming.

 

Adios,
