Is your Sheriff keeping your certificate?

[Resto Guy]

When I renewed my CHP recently, my Sheriff's office insisted that they needed my original, notarized training course certificate (instead of a copy) to keep on file. Is that the norm now in NC?

They kept my original in Mecklenburg County.

Kept mine too, in Buncombe county.

If I remember the law is that the sheriffs dept gets the original certificate period.

Granville County, NC Sheriff's Department didn't keep mine last year, they did want to see it though as proof that I had taken the course!

Yes, they keep the original. Make a copy if you'd like it for your wall. If an original is turned into them it reduces those that are fake. A lot of states have instructors print the cert right from the internet. How easy is that?

Thanks for the responses. I'm more comfortable about it now.
