What to expect

2026 LASD CCW Renewal Fingerprint Update

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) renewal applicants: LASD currently states that, pursuant to California Penal Code section 26185, all CCW renewals submitted to the California Department of Justice on or after September 1, 2026 must provide new fingerprints. Follow the instructions issued by LASD and Permitium for when and how the required fingerprinting must be completed.

This fingerprint requirement is separate from the required 8-hour CCW renewal training course. LASD currently requires renewal applicants to complete at least 8 hours of approved firearms training and to qualify with each firearm to be listed on the license.

Day One - Classroom / Administrative Instruction - 4 Hours

  • Firearms Safety
  • Handgun Fundamentals
  • Shooting Fundamentals
  • Updated Legal Standards
  • Current Sensitive-Place Restrictions
  • Use-of-Force Laws and the Legal and Psychological Impacts of a Post Self-Defense Shooting / Incident
  • Mental Health Awareness

Day Two - Range Training - 4 Hours

  • Live-Fire Proficiency Qualification - 72 rounds for the primary firearm at 3 / 5 / 7 yards
  • Live-Fire Proficiency Qualification - 20 rounds each for secondary and tertiary firearms at 5 / 7 yards
  • Shooting Fundamentals
  • Drawing and Reholstering
  • Malfunction Drills
  • Movement and Shooting
  • Use of Cover Drills
  • Close-Quarter Drills

High Instructor-to-Student Ratio

One instructor for every two students, providing substantially more individual coaching, supervision, and feedback than a large-format class.

Experienced Instructors

Training is conducted by experienced instructors with backgrounds that include military service, law enforcement, civilian firearms instruction, and advanced firearms training.

Practical Firearms Training

Students receive practical firearms instruction designed to develop safe handling, proper technique, accuracy, and confidence - not simply classroom instruction.

Small Class Sizes

Classes are generally capped at eight students, allowing instructors to spend more time working directly with each participant.

Important: Cobra Tactical provides firearms training, not legal advice. CCW application, fingerprinting, documentation, fees, timing, and renewal requirements are controlled by the issuing agency and applicable law. Verify current requirements directly with LASD, LAPD, or your issuing agency before submitting your renewal.
