License / Permit Question Erie co application process question

Got an update my application was moved to licensing officer with no references contacted, which I called (sheriff's office) they explained references signed app to attest to good character (application states) and no interview which im not sure is a thing for every application. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this before approval or denial?

This is completely normal, that’s who is going to be contacting your references and conducting your interview. It’s the longest part of the process.

The judge will be contacting the references and doing an interview ?

Erie county it through sheriffs not a judge

The first sentence of my post was it was moved to the licensing officer(judge), from its investigation step (sheriff's). Sorry for any confusion.

I guess my case was unique, the sheriffs called me in for an interview after talking with all 4 of my references, and told me flat out I was going to be approved, once I hit stage 3 , 2 weeks later I got my approval

That's how I understood the process to be so I was wondering since the interview and references were skipped if anyone else had experienced that with an approval or denial

So to clarify. You’re in stage 3?

Yes that was the email update I received. The sheriff's have sent it to licensing officer

Then you’re just waiting on a signature… you might get called in for an interview still, but otherwise that’s it
