So- going on 4 months here through the NJSP, so I started making some phone calls. I spoke to the officer on charge and he told me everything was in order that they were just extremely busy with a very high number of requests.
Two days later I get a call around 8:00 at night, it was the officer who is in charge of my background check. She tells me that since they are so busy they now have patrol officers helping out on a part time basis, usually 1 day a week. And that she has been trying to get a hold of one of my references for over 6 weeks but he hasn't answered his phone or called back.
Long story short they had the wrong number, so I gave them the correct number and checked back with my contact and he confirmed that he did receive the call that evening.
I will call again this week to check on the status but don't expect them ready for another month or so.
