Can some one here help me understand what the $&#%& is up with Carmel?? As many will know, here in Carmel we must INTERVIEW with the Chief of Police BEFORE they will OK the application to continue on the ISP for processing.
I completed my online appl. on 9/16, a Friday and scheduled my fingerprinting with L-1 the following Monday at 9:30a. As soon as I get home from L-1 I called the CPD and scheduled my INTERVIEW for the following Tues. 9/27. During the process I inquired as to the process and the lady said that Carmel was still small enough that it allowed them to still kind of "keep hands on the porcess some" and that they will do a background check and that once I pass the BC and the interview they will OK it and send it (my app) on to the ISP for processing. All right whatever.
Then, on the 9/26 I get a call from the CPD lady that schedules these INTERVIEWS and she advises me that the Chief wont' be able to see me at my scheduled appointment and would need to reschedule and wants to reschedule me for 3p or something later that day. I advise that I have to be home from 2:30 to 4p each day to collect my kids from the school buses. She peruses the schedule and informs me that there isn't anything in the next 2 weeks that isn't after 3pm.
At this point I am getting irritated and she says that she will talk to the Chief and get back to me. The time here is 8:30am 9/27. I call back at 8;30am the next day we set a time of 9am on Oct. 4th. 19 days AFTER I completed my app and 16 days after my appt. with L-1.
Now, the way I see this, based on what I have been reading here, I am waiting FAAAAR longer for this process to go on that ANYONE here has relayed as to their own experience. The cost of the BC is included in the fees that we pay and CPD is going to run a background check IN ADDITION TO the BC that the ISP (who are tasked by law with performing the BC). As such, I am paying TWICE for the same process to be performed by two different agencies to return the same result. And if the CPD can find something that the ISP can't then there is a REAL problem in the ISP.
Can anyone explain to me what the deal is here????? I'm not afraid of the BC, h_ _l this will be like the 6th one in 6 yrs. what with 3 different schools and Boy Scouts. This comes across like some Liberal cluster-you-know-what that is designed to complicate things and discourage those applying for their LTCH. And this is supposed to be a Conservative town. Sheesh.

. I know it hasn't been too long, I just want to know if there is a history of SBPD dragging their feet.
