    RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
    11B-27.002: Certification, Employment or Appointment, Reactivation, and Terminating Employment or Appointment of Officers

    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on January 15, 2013, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for a temporary waiver of Rule 11B-27.002(2)(a), F.A.C., by Rodney Kevin Schwartz. Rule 11B-27.002(2)(a), F.A.C., requires a candidate to become employed within four years of beginning basic recruit training. Petitioner sought employment during the pendency of his four years, but was unsuccessful. Petitioner's certification expires on February 23, 2013. Petitioner asserts that a strict application of the rule will affect him differently than other similarly situated individuals who are subject to the rule because the basic recruit training he attended was supposed to be a nine month course, but, because of certification issues with the program administrator, the course was suspended for three months, then reopened and completed later, taking nearly a year to finish. Petitioner asserts that this delay put his graduation in the middle of the economic downturn and the many agencies to which he applied were not hiring. Petitioner further asserts that he will suffer economic hardship if the waiver is not granted.
    A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Grace A. Jaye, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302, or by telephoning (850) 410-7676.
