Sheriff Doug Cox, Johnson County

[hondatech2k2]

This past weekend I purchased my very first NFA device from Acme Sports in Seymour. Once the paperwork comes back I will have my very own Silencerco Osprey 45 to go on the end of my FNP tactical. Anyways..on to my story!

I was worried about the CLEO sign off as this is my first time and I did not know what to expect..
I put a phone call in to the Johnson County Sheriff Department not knowing which number to call. The 2nd number I called was "Vikii" Sheriff Cox secretary. 3 hours later I received a phone call from.......yep Sheriff Doug Cox. Long story short.... this guy was extremely courteous and very professional!! He made my first CLEO experience a very pleasant one. I dropped my paperwork off at 7pm, and he again personally called me at 8:15am the next morning to tell me it was all done! I look forward to dealing with him again in the future, and if you live in Johnson County rest easy knowing you have this kind of character to deal with!

Glad you had a good experience!

I also had a great experience with Sherriff Carother's in Jackson Co. He personally fingerprinted me for both my form 4 and form 1 (I'm doing SBR and suppressor), and was very professional the entire time.

Good to know this about him!

I know Sheriff Cox personally. GREAT guy. Next time I see him I'll pass on your compliment.

Since I live in Greenwood, would I go through Sherrif Cox for a CLEO signature, or would I have to contact Greenwood PD? Thanks in advance.

If you reside within the incorporated city limits of Greenwood, then GPD is your destination.

Now I know who I am going to have to see after the HUSH shoot. I am looking for a .308 suppressor, and I am sure that I will find something there that I can not live without. Thanks Ted

Hey man, this is Clint from Acme....I assumed that it all went well since I got your paperwork out in the mail this week!

I am always happy to hear stories of our chief LEOs being easy to work with.

in St. Joseph county you dont even need to drop of your form 4 and return for it. You go to the sheriffs office and they fill it out right on the spot (either by hand or with a rubber stamp)

Sheriff Cox wanted me to come in actually. But I work on the North side of Indy so making down to him before his shift ended was impossible. Next time, I will be taking the day off of work and getting everything done in 1 day. Of course I hope he doesn't mind signing 4-6 forms at once lol.

Another +1 for Sheriff Cox.

Set an appointment with him today to sign 4 form 1's. I showed up early and he met me at the door lol. Once again, fantastic gentleman to deal with and it was a pleasure to actually m eet him in person! Afterwards he walked me through the back to the jail office for fingerprinting.
Total time from arriving-forms filled out-to fingerprints done.....on 4 forms/fingerprints was a whopping 9 minutes!!

+1000

Sheriff Cox is a great guy!

In my experience, he has been very fair and above all the political BS that you might find in similar agencies across the state.

I found that a good way to get a local (former) Chief to sign off on something is to call his office six times a day after 3 weeks of waiting. If that fails, hang out in the lobby and play solitaire.

I live in the town of Bargersville, can I go to Johnson County sherif or do I go to Bargersville PD for signing off NFA?
