Alameda PD is starting to process their applications. Quick in-person interview, asking about who lives with you, gun storage, marijuana usage, social media accounts. Then they call references. Next they said will be online psych eval and the 16 hour training once they have the vendors sorted.

was surfing through reddit today and stumbled upon this.
OP is applying for Alameda County and was on psych eval, during the eval they forgot the 3 words they were supposed to repeat back.
Is this fail or pass? Or is it up to the psych eval?

I only remembered one of the three. I passed.
The SL indoor range is limited to 15 yards , correct?
If so , how do they do the 25 yard qual?
Actually I was wrong, I just called to confirm. So it is 15 yards.Thanks for the info. I was told it was only 15.
My bad for listening to a friend
Interesting, I am curious then how my qualifier will be set-up. Either they just wont care lol. OR they switch out the targets for smaller ones to "scale" it correctly when you do the 25 yard portion.
OR if it is outdoor, which does go to 25 yards.

For 25 yards, target will be at the 15 line but only count hits within the 8 ring. Any 7 ring hits will not count. This is shooting a B-27 target.

Awesome job man!!
Thanks for the info.
For those interested the city of Berkeley is planning to begin handling CCW issuance starting July 1, 2025 if I am reading this correctly:
"Therefore, the Police Department seeks Council approval to implement the proposed fee schedule and intends to finalize implementation and begin processing the applications July 1, 2025, in accordance with state law."
In addition, the costs are _significantly_ higher than the ALCO fees being charged.
Application fee: $255 vs $95
Issuance fee: $325 vs $100
Renewal fee: $255 vs $77
Duplicate: $55 vs $10

Just submitted a renewal about 1 month ago. Wondering if anyone has feedback on timeline that have renewed with ALCO.
How was your renewal process?
Did you have to wait for them to email you first or can you just take the requal course and send the results to them?

It's easy. You can only apply when you are less than 60 days from expiration. Just take the 8 hour requal course close to your 60 days then renew via the Permitium portal and upload your training certificate and other docs.
