Before getting to introducing her new command staff, Sheriff Hutchens wanted to make a statement regarding her review of the OCSD's CCW policy.

It doesn't sounds like much will change. Hutchens said her "CCW policy will follow industry standard practices" and that "CCWs will not be issued for political, social or other reasons"

Disqualifers will include a "previous felony conviction, or a misdemeanor conviction in last five years" for an office involving violence. She also said "applicants may -- I repeat, may -- be required to be undergo psychiatric evaluation."

She also said CCWs may have "situation-specific restrictions" such as can only carry a concealed weapon during certain hours.

Hutchens: "There was a feeling I was going to be restrictive and that's not my intent, but to implement a fair and equitable process."
