According to the info on the State Police website there are several counties that allow you to utilize online application for a LTCH. After reading the particulars in the application, it's clear that you need to make a follow up trip to the local law enforcement office to complete the application. I assume when you go to that facility, that the usual fingerprinting and so forth will take place. Other than possibly the fact that the processing facility may be able to pick up a pre filled out form off the state police data base, what is the advantage of applying online?
