Hi everyone, I'm new to the board here. I have a couple questions about the LTC process in Brockton. If anyone has any info, I would apperciate it. The first question I have is about references. Can the references be related to the applicant, like father-in-law for instance? Also do they actually do an interview when applying, and if so what do they ask? How long is the wait for an appointment to apply? I've completed the required safety course, and am getting ready to submit my application. Thanks in advance.

Brocton LTC process questions

Those questions really need to be asked of the licensing officer in your town. Each town sets their own "rules". Many of these application requirements aren't legally part of the process, but since individual police chiefs can find you "unsuitable" to hold an LTC, most people (myself included) sheepishly comply with "the man" and jump through his hoops. Just give them a call and they can answer all of your requirements questions.
Hey man...do a search on here and you can find a lot of what you want. I'm doing the same thing. My interview is next month. Basically with Brockton you need a letter to the police chief. I dont need any reference letters from what i've read. You need to call and speak with the Licenesning officers ASAP. I called 2 months ago and my appointment isn't until next month. They are backlogged that far back. The officers doing the process so far have been very professional and polite. Be prepared to have your license restricted your first time to Sport and Target. After about 2 years they say you can write a letter to the police chief asking for it to be removed. If you have questions just PM me. A good place to start is the Brockton PD website.

Actually, it is very easy to get an LTC in Brockton. Saying Brockton is very tough to get an LTC is misleading.

It took me 3 months to get in for my appointment, a month of calling and no return calls (finally got lucky and caught some one on the phone after calling every day) and then another two months for the appointment. At the appointment I was told there are people who've been waiting at least 4 months due to the states back log. I'd love to know how this works out for you. Please update us.

Go to www.brocktonpolice.com. They have a great FAQ page that will address most if not all of your questions. Good luck and please let us know what happens.
So far same with me...it's about 2 months to get the appointment. My appointment is next month and i'm sure it will take about 6-7 weeks. It is what it is..i've seen worse stories. The only good thing about waiting is it's given me a lot of time to research and find out what Firearm is good for me. I've also spent a lot of time taking courses, reading books and watching Youtube of proper shooting techniques. On top of things it's given me more of an "itch" to want to shoot more. So i guess this is my way into keeping myself occupied until i hopefully get my LTC.
Went for my interview in Brockton the first week of August... still waiting. Called today and he said it was approved but to call back in a couple more weeks. That will be 11 weeks. (today was exactly 9 weeks)

Welcome. The post prior to yours is almost 10 years old. I'm sure that stuff has changed. ![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
I'd advise checking the BPD website, and see what's up - a lot of stuff was screwed up by Covid Madness.
