Published on: 19515253. On July 18, 2017, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC) issued a Final Order granting a limited waiver of Rule 11B-20.0016(3), F.A.C., to the Citrus County Public Safety Training Center. Rule 11B-20.0016(3), F.A.C., provides that the effective date of the instructor certificaiton shall be the date the application is approved by commission staff; the waiver allowed the effective date of the instructor certificaiton of Petitioner’s instructor William Roberson to be the date he would have been eligible for certification had Petitioner timely applied for his certification. The Petition was filed on June 9, 2017, and notice of the petition was published on June 16, 2017, in Vol. 43, No. 117, of the Florida Administrative Register. No public comments were received. In rendering its decision, the CJSTC determined that Petitioner would suffer a substantial hardship were the waiver not granted as it would have to bring back for repeat instruction all the students taught by William Roberson. The CJSTC also determined that a waiver in this matter would serve the purpose of the underlying statutes as it would result in the recognition of certification for an adequately trained and qualified instructor during the entire period in which he was eligible for such certification.
Published on: 19091169. a permanent waiver of Rule 11B-20.0016(3), F.A.C., from Captain David Vincent on behalf of the Citrus County Public Safety Training Center ("Petitioner"). Petitioner wishes to waive that portion of the Rule that states, in pertinent part: The effective date of the instructor certification shall be the date the application is approved by Commission staff... In justification of its petition for waiver, Petitioner asserts that in, January of 2016, Petitioner contacted Mr. William Roberson to ask him to become a Breath Test Operator (“BTO”) Instructor for Petitioner. On February 5, 2016, Mr. Roberson completed the BTO Instructor Course, for which he received a certificate of completion and his Breath Test Instructor Performance Report. In May of 2016, Mr. Roberson began the requisite internship under the direction of another BTO Instructor and provided all paperwork necessary for his instructor certification application (“application”) to Petitioner's staff; however, Petitioner's staff, under the mistaken belief that another entity was handling Mr. Roberson’s certification, failed to submit Mr. Roberson’s application to the staff of the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, leaving Mr. Roberson technically uncertified even though he had completed all the requirements for certification. In October and November of 2016, Mr. Roberson taught three BTO certification and/or re-certification courses for Petitioner after Petitioner's coordinators failed to notice that Mr. Roberson did not hold a BTO Certification. Petitioner alleges that, should the waiver not be granted, Petitioner will suffer a substantial hardship as it would be required to bring back all the students who attended the courses taught by Mr. Roberson in October and November of 2016 and put them through another course of instruction. Petitioner also alleges that the waiver satisfies the purpose of the underlying statutes, as only an error on the part of Petitioner in the processing of Mr. Roberson’s application kept Mr. Roberson from achieving certification in May of 2016.
