The rules for issuing a Game of Chance license include obtaining the Police Department’s finding that the licensees are of good moral character and have not been convicted of a crime. If someone has been convicted of a crime they cannot be involved with a game of chance.
Following State guidelines, the Deptford Police Department will be using New Jersey State Police Criminal History Records Information (Form 212A) to assist with their investigation. Each person listed in charge of the Game of Chance will be required to submit the on-line Form 212A.
The State of New Jersey charges a fee of $20.00, which is paid during the on-line application process. The State conducts their investigations promptly so this process should not exceed seven (7) days. After seven (7) days, the Clerk’s office will immediately mail your Game of Chance Raffle application to the New Jersey LGCCC.
If the LGCCC does not report any application deficiencies the Clerk’s Office will issue your licenses after fourteen days (14) of the date mailed out. If the LGCCC finds your application to be deficient, they will contact you directly and cc the Clerk’s Office listing the items that will need to be corrected. Please make us aware of any changes or correspondence with the State during this time.
