As COVID-19 continues to impact and change the way businesses are conducted, Sioux County Sheriff's Office is starting to process permits to carry weapons and permits to acquire weapons through an online application form for residents.
“What we’ve done is we have partnered with the vendor Permitium, which has allowed us the ability to issue all weapons permit applications online, that also includes renewals and applications for a permit to acquire pistols or revolvers," Deputy Jamie Van Voorst told KWIA Radio. “We have made it completely so that people don’t have to come into our business lobby right now."
Once coronavirus restrictions are lifted, Voorst told KWIA Radio that the department will continue to offer the online permit applications and streamline the service.
“It just streamlined everything, and it’s not only now during the COVID-19 concerns where we didn’t want people having, you know, physical contact wherever possible. This allows that," Voorst told KWIA Radio. "Once that passes it’s going to free up our business office staff so that they’re not tied up with three four or five people sometimes waiting in line.”
Residents of Sioux County can access the permit application page on the Sioux County Sheriff's Office website.
