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

The Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission hereby gives notice that it has issued an order. On September 20, 2013, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission received a petition for temporary waiver of subsection 11B-27.002(4), F.A.C., by Ismael Cartagena, Jr. subsection 11B-27.002(4), F.A.C., requires officers to become employed within four years of beginning basic recruit training. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register Volume 39, Number 185, September 23, 2013.

On November 7, 2013, pursuant to notice, at its regularly scheduled Business Agenda meeting held in Destin, Florida, the Commission ruled on the petition. The Commission found that the Petitioner did not demonstrate that the strict application of the Commission's rules in this case would violate the principles of fairness. The Petitioner was not being actively considered for employment by any employing agency. The Commission found that the purposes of the underlying statute, Section 943.1395(1), F.S., to ensure that officers meet strict qualification criteria and minimum training requirements, would not be addressed should the waiver be granted. The Commission denied the Petitioner's waiver request.

A copy of the Order or additional information 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].
