11B-27.002Certification, Employment or Appointment, Reactivation, and Terminating Employment or Appointment of Officers

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement hereby gives notice:

On May 31, 2017, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC) issued a Final Order granting a waiver of subsection 11B-27.002(4), F.A.C., to Alexandria Ward. subsection 11B-27.002(4), F.A.C., gives individuals four years from the start of a Basic Recurit Training Program to complete specified training and examination requirements and to become employed and certified; the waiver permits Petitioner, who has completed the training and examination requirements and is employed as a correctional officer, to maintain her employment and become certified. The Petition was filed on April 25, 2017, and notice of the petition was published on April 26, 2017, in Vol. 43, No. 81, 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 she would be required to leave employment to complete the training, examination, and hiring process again. The CJSTC also determined that a waiver in this matter would serve the purpose of the underlying statutes as it would result in the continued employment of Petitioner as a correctional officer, a position for which she is currently qualified and adequately trained.
