The Department of Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice Standards and Training has taken action at its February 9, 2006, meeting on a petition for waiver received from Shawn Jones, on January 27, 2006. Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 32, No. 06, February 10, 2006. No public comment was received. The petition requested a waiver of Rules 11B-27.002, 11B-30.006, 11B-30.0062, 11B-30.013, and 28-104.002, F.A.C., pursuant to Section 120.542, F.S. Rule 11B-27.002, F.A.C., requires an officer to successfully complete basic recruit training, pass the State Officer Certification Examination, and gain employment as an officer within four years of beginning basic recruit training. The other rules deal with the State Officer Certification Examination or with other matters not applicable to the Petitioner’s request to extend his time for completing training, passing the SOCE, and becoming employed. On February 9, 2006, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission denied a waiver of this rule to Shawn Jones, in a final order, OGC File No.: VAR 06-1. This rule waiver was denied because the petitioner could not demonstrate that a strict application of the rule would result in undue hardship to him or would affect him differently than other similarly situated applicants and because he had not successfully fulfilled the requirements of Section 943.135, F.S., by other means.
