NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on October 21, 2015, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for a temporary 30 day waiver of paragraph 11B-27.002(4)(a), F.A.C., by Detective Carlos R. Grave de Peralta of the Miami Police Department on behalf of Gerber G. Vasquez. 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. Vasquez began basic recruit training on June 1, 2011, graduating on October 31, 2011 and passed the SOCE on November 16, 2011. Petitioner states that Mr. Vasquez has been unsuccessful in gaining employment with any Florida law enforcement agencies however, Petitioner states that Mr. Vasquez is in the final stages of the hiring process with the Miami Police Department and would be appointed as an officer within 30 days of the granting of a waiver. Petitioner states that a strict application of the rule would result in an unreasonable and substantial hardship on Mr. Vasquez because he would need to retake Basic Recruit Training and pass the State Officer Certification Examination again. Petitioner states that the purpose of Section 943.13, F.S. will be achieved if the waiver is 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, [phone].
