The Arcadia Police Department is accepting Carry a Concealed Weapon ("CCW") license applications from Arcadia residents through a third-party provider. The Department aims to provide a CCW license to community members who meet all the qualifications upon request.

The CCW application process is as follows:

  • Apply online at MyCCW.us
  • Complete the California Department of Justice Application, also available through MyCCW.us.
  • Interview with a background investigator and a review of required documents.
  • Criminal history check through Live Scan fingerprinting.
  • Rigorous background investigation.
  • Psychological assessment with a contracted Arcadia Police Department Psychologist.
  • Completion of an approved CCW Firearm Safety Course and Weapon(s) Qualification.
  • Final review and issuance of CCW license.

Any inquiries regarding the process shall be directed to CCWApplications@arcadiaca.gov. A member of our team will return emails in the order they are received, during normal business hours.
