Police Permit Processing
If you are interested in obtaining any of the listed permits you must complete a Turlock Police Permit application and submit it to the Records Unit in person. The Records Unit is located in the lobby of the Turlock Police Department at 900 N. Palm St. Turlock, Ca. 95380. A non-refundable processing fee for the permit must be paid at the time you submit your permit application. You may be required to submit your fingerprints to DOJ and FBI as part of the permitting process. The Turlock Police Department offers live scan fingerprinting service. An additional fee will be required for fingerprinting submissions. Once the Turlock Police Department receives your criminal history report from DOJ and/or FBI your application package will be routed to the Professional Standards Unit for processing. The Professional Standards Unit will conduct a background investigation and make a determination. Upon successful completion of the background investigation a permit may be issued. Most permits are valid for 1 year and require annual renewals.
