Safety Training Instruction

We recommend you complete and submit in person to the Delaware County Pistol Clerk the application packet in its entirety prior to scheduling and/or taking any safety training course. 

Your complete application packet will go through the background check that is conducted by the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office.  There is no set time limit that this will take to be completed.

Please note:

Applicants must complete the required safety training course and submit to the pistol clerk the original certificate of completion within the timeframe that also is in compliance with the 6 month limit for fingerprinting!!!

If safety training course certificate is submitted to the pistol clerk after the 6 month limit, applicant may be subject to an updated back ground investigation.

It is your responsibility to find a safety training course that complies with the NYS minimum standard requirements as established by DCJS and DSP. Make sure they are compliant with Delaware County.
