Form SPD 950, Applicant's Descriptive Information – Sacramento, CA

Form SPD 950, Applicant's Descriptive Information, is a Sacramento Police Department form on which an applicant prints personal identifiers, a physical description, a permit type and position, and business details, and then signs it and adds a right thumb print.

The form is a single descriptive sheet. It asks for the applicant's name (last, first, middle), date of birth and any AKA, nickname, alias or maiden name. It records sex, race, height, weight, hair color and eye color, followed by Social Security number, driver's license number, place of birth, home address and home phone. A table lists tattoos, scars, marks and other physical characteristics by type, location and description.

The lower part of the form covers the application itself: the permit type (marked City or Police), the position applying for, the application date, and the name, address and phone number of the business. The applicant signs and dates the form, and a box is reserved for a right thumb print.

Record-keeping entries also appear on the sheet: INVL CODE, SPD#, CITE#, CHARGES, CII, FBI, XREF, MNI, DATE ENTERED and BY. The form prints a key to the INVL codes (LIC for license, PER for permit, SWN for sworn, CIV for civilian, CTY for other city employee and CIT for citation).

SPD 950 does not grant anything. It is not a business license or a permit, and the form names no fee or approval. The City of Sacramento hosts the PDF in the business and entertainment section of its Code Compliance website. The printed revision is SPD 950 (REV 018/06), and the file name reads Rev 0806.

The people who complete Form SPD 950 are applicants who must give the Sacramento Police Department a descriptive record of themselves. The form's permit type line, marked City or Police, and its Position Applying For line show that it is completed by a person applying for a permit or for a position, with the business details entered at the bottom.

The form itself does not list eligibility rules, exclusions or categories of people who must use it. It also does not say who may sign for another person: it has one line for the applicant's signature and a box for the applicant's own right thumb print. Whether you must submit it, and with which application, is decided by the permit or position you are applying for, so confirm that with the City of Sacramento before completing it.

The City's Code Compliance forms page says forms are available online and at the Permit Service Counter, and gives (916) 264-5011 for anyone who cannot find the form they need.

Complete Form SPD 950 when you apply for the permit or position it accompanies. The form has an Application Date field next to the permit type and the position applying for, so it is filled out at the time of the application. No separate due date, validity period or renewal cycle is printed on it. Because the form sets no deadline of its own, check the deadline of the permit or position application it supports with the City of Sacramento, using the Permit Service Counter or (916) 264-5011, the number the City's Code Compliance forms page gives for form questions.

The form prints no mailing address, portal or appointment rule, so its delivery follows the permit or position application it supports. What the City of Sacramento does state:

• Online: the City's Code Compliance forms page says forms and publications are available online. The PDF itself is at the official URL listed on this page.
• In person: the same page says forms are available at the Permit Service Counter.
• By phone: (916) 264-5011 is given for anyone who cannot locate the form they need. The number 916-808-0780 is also printed at the foot of the form.

The form includes an applicant's signature line with a date and a box for a right thumb print, so complete those parts before you deliver it. Ask the City where to deliver the completed sheet if the application you are making does not tell you. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
