11B-35.001: General Training Programs; Requirements and Specifications

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on December 10, 2012, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for a permanent waiver of Rule 11B-35.001(9)(b), F.A.C., from Florida Public Safety Institute, on behalf of Delwyn Hall. Rule 11B-35.001(9)(b), F.A.C., requires students in General Instructor Techniques course to pass with a score of 85%. An audit of the Petitioner’s records showed that one student was passed with a score of 82. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the student at issue was passed as a result of a mistake on the part of Petitioner’s staff. An audit showed that the student would have passed the end-of-course examination except for a change in the rule on September 28, 2009, in which the passing score was changed from 75% to 85%. The Petitioner states that the student should not be penalized because he relied upon the Petitioner’s knowing the rules regarding end-of-course examinations. Petitioner states that the student at issue will suffer a substantial hardship if his score is not recognized because he will not receive the benefit of having passed the course over a year ago.
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].
