On a Friday, there's only 1 person helping causing wait time in the HOURS! How is this except able? I have an emergency and was told I couldn't cut in line even if other agreed. Policy needs looked at and staff needs to be present!

I had been there for my first time CPL application. From security people to county clerk’s office staff everyone were nothing but nice and welcoming. They were patient enough to make me complete my application and take fingerprints. Just take all necessary documents and everything will fall into place. I appreciate their service.

Had a few questions I needed answers on two different calls (08/05/24) and spoke to Liz both times. She was amazing and super helpful on both of the calls. Her help made my day much easier and really appreciated speaking with her.
