11B-30.008:State Officer Certification Examination Site Administration

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on October 19, 2017, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, received a petition for a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-30.008(1), F.A.C., from Jeremy King. Petitioner wishes to waive that portion of the Rule that states, in pertinent part: Administration of the Computer-Based State Officer Certification Examination (CB-SOCE) shall be limited to test sites authorized by the Commission and located within the State of Florida…In justification of his petition for waiver, Petitioner asserts that he successfully completed a Florida Equivalency of Training Program in April of 2017, and in May of 2017, he sat for and passed the Florida SOCE at a Pearson VUE testing in Tennessee after confirming with Pearson VUE that this was an acceptable testing location. Petitioner alleges that he is now employed by the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office and is participating in new hire orientation. Petitioner further alleges that, should the waiver not be granted, Petitioner will suffer a substantial hardship as he would be unable to retain his employment as a law enforcement officer until he sits for and passes a Florida SOCE administered within the State of Florida.

A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Dana Kelly, Agency Clerk, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302 or by telephone at [phone].
