According to the statement, the issue stems from a cyber security incident and has impacted agencies statewide. As a result, the SPD will strive to complete CPL applications as soon as possible, but the software issue has caused an unavoidable delay. Once the issue is resolved, CPL applications will resume processing.

Community members are advised to be patient during this time and understand that the delay is out of the SPD's control. The department assures that they are working diligently to resolve the issue and resume normal operations.
