    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on October 8, 2015, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission received a petition for a waiver of paragraph 11B-27.002(4)(a), F.A.C., from Chief Daniel Oates of the Miami Beach Police Department on behalf of Rigoberto Mantecon. Petitioner wishes to waive that portion of the rule that states within four years of the beginning date of a Commission-approved Basic Recruit Training Program, an individual shall successfully complete the program, achieve a passing score on the applicable State Officer Certification Examination, and gain employment, and certification as an officer. Petitioner states that Mr. Mantecon began a Commission-approved cross-over program for law enforcement on October 14, 2011 and passed the State Officer Certification Examination on April 24, 2012. He has been certified as a correctional officer since August 27, 1997 and currently works for the Miami Beach Police Department. Chief Oates submitted a letter of support and stated Mr. Mantecon is undergoing the selection process with his agency. Petitioner states that Mr. Mantecon has completed the psychological examination and needs additional time to recover from Lasik surgery to complete the medical exam portion of the background hiring process. Petitioner states that Mr. Mantecon is an exemplary employee with the Miami Beach Police Department and would be an asset to their Reserve Officer Program. Petitioner states that strict application of the rule would result in unreasonable, unfair and unintended results in this instance and that the purpose of Section 943.13, F.S. would be served if the waiver were granted.

    A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Linton B. Eason, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302 or by telephone: (850)410-7676.
