I applied for my Ltcw they told me 2 weeks and I will hear something second week I call they said I was aprroved and they just put it in the mail waited all week for my card to come in the mail there was nothing called again and she said I was denied. That's comeing from my butler country sheriffs office she said I should be getting the challenge and all that but that's been a week ago and it's getting close to the 30 day challenge so basically was wanting to see if someone could tell me how I could get ahold of pic to figure out what's going on or if someone could tell me what I should do

Sadly I don't think there is a lot you can do until you get the denial letter and have a chance to read it.

Simle fact. To appeal decision you have to know the reason for the decision. Then you have to show that the alleged facts that led to the decision are incorrect or that the decision falls outside of the parameters of the law.

Butler denied?

That has to be a first!

I got mine in 10 minutes, and that was only because I talked about the "Got milk" poster on the wall for 5 minutes..

Mind you that was 4 years ago..

Maybe go to the Sheriffs office on Monday and inquire in person?

[Rickhockenberry]

Yeah I could do that but it's been about 2 weeks since I called the shiriffs office and they said it was denied my worrie is its almost been the 30 day mark to challenge it I'm just worried I am going to run out of time

That's why you need to go down there, if the time is almost up, why are you willing to wait around for something that may not show up in the mail?

Go down and ask them in person so you can get it resolved ASAP.

I understand that but last time I called the lady said that the state don't give her a reason why they just give her a yes or no she said they dont tell her why I failed.

Ok, if the Sheriffs dept says you would be getting a challenge form, and you never did, it may be in your interest if you go down there and politely ask them where your form is.

They will probably tell you again that they cannot tell you anything, but since you are standing there, they might be able to give you a contact number at the State Police where you can get answers.

Calling on the phone could be anyone, also, it's easy to blow someone off on the phone.
It's different in person.

[Rickhockenberry]

Probably just going to be the best thing to do that kinda what I was wanting but I didn't know if someone on here knew who to contact about it at the state police and just avoiding the sheriffs office because they just don't seem to help full but ill go in Monday just wish I hade why I was denied so I could take in the proof
