Hello,
Doing my first form 1 and was wondering what you guys that have done it list as your CLEO... Local, County Sheriff, or State Police ?
I'm in Kane county.
Any tips or suggestions are welcome.

Depends on if you live in a town or are unincorporated.  If you live in unincorporated Kane County it would be the Sheriff if you live in a town/city like Geneva it would be the police chief. I live in unincorporated Oswego,  AKA Oswego Township so for me it would be the Kendall County Sheriff.

Shoot, I sent mine off like 2 months ago for CLEO signature and forgot about it.  I guess I should check.

I thought the law changed around July that it became notify CLEO only and no signature needed.

One of the form 1 copies that you print out will be marked "cleo copy" on the bottom, that's the one that goes to your cleo and serves as notification. I also included a letter explaining IL and federal law and a copy of my c&r. I just dropped the cleo copy/letter addressed to my local sheriff and atf copies off at the same time in the mail bin. Make sure you have the current version of the form 1, the old ones are void as of July 2016 (I forget the exact date).

I never noticed a cleo form 1 copy, oops. I just sent him a copy of the one I sent to the ATF minus my credit card info. Plus a letter saying what this was. He signed off on my first form 1 and I didnt even have to talk to him, his secretary took care of it all so I'm sure he read it and forgot about it.

May be you did the pre July 2016 forms, which required a cleo signature and didn't have a cleo specilfc form? If it was the recent form 1, the copies that should have been sent to atf were "atf copy" and "registrant copy". Any other way they will get kicked back to you.

Nope it was the new forms. Maybe I just didnt notice the "cleo copy" Either way, I'm not worried about it.

Hopefully you sent atf the forms marked "atf copy" and "registrant copy" or else they will be kicked back to you. Hope everyone comes out well for you.

Went to my local PD to get my fingerprint's done, all good there.
I handed her the CLEO copy of the form 1 and said to her can you please put this in the chiefs mail box, no response is needed, the ATF requires me to notify him.
The desk officer had no idea what a form 1 was and kinda freaked out "what do you need this gun for" she called her chief and his response was I don't need the paperwork until you are approved.
I thanked them for there time and have sent the cleo copy priorty mail to them.

Note another Female officer even said "just mail it to him"

I live in Saint Charles, I got the Kane County Sheriff to sign my Form 1's. This was before 41P, now I'd just send the Form 1's to the Saint Charles  Police Dept. and be done with it!

May I ask what you are in need of form 1 in Ill? I am presently looking at doing a short barreled rifle application for Il. Wondering how most CLEO's are acting etc.
