11B-27.00212: Maintenance of Officer Certification

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on November 01, 2011, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Jupiter Inlet Colony Police Department on behalf of 18 officers for the 2006-2008 (7/1/2006 – 6/30/2008) and 2008-2010 (7/1/08 – 6/30/10) reporting cycles. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the officers at issue did successfully complete the course of fire, however, the instructors supervising the requalifications were not CJSTC-certified firearms instructors. Petitioner states that the officers will suffer a substantial hardship if their certifications are rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further states that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officers did successfully complete the requirement simply because non-CJSTC-certified firearms instructors supervised their 2006-2008 and 2008-2010 requalifications.
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 [phone].
