(17) CMS Criminal Justice Defensive Tactics Course Field Test – The Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission is currently evaluating defensive tactic techniques taught to law enforcement, corrections, and correctional probation recruits in the respective basic recruit training programs. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine the usefulness of current defensive tactics techniques training and identify ways to enhance the training. As part of the evaluation, CJSTC staff conducted a study of the current defensive tactics techniques training program. The study concluded that because few recruits have fighting experience and few officers do defensive tactics training off-duty, any techniques taught during the basic recruit program should be easy for novices to learn and remember. Effective techniques that rely on gross motor skills and can apply to multiple situations would be the ideal techniques to teach. Reducing the number of tactics would allow instructors to have students do multiple repetitions of techniques without increasing training hours. Officers must be able to make quick decisions about how to react and, when appropriate, perform defensive moves fluidly. More realistic simulation training will allow recruits to practice what they learn in basic recruit training and be more confident when entering the field. A revised defensive tactic techniques course is under development in response to the study results. A CMS Criminal Justice Defensive Tactics field-test in a classroom environment with student participation is necessary to evaluate the changes to the course and make modifications if needed before certain course criteria can be established and final rules adopted. In order to accomplish these goals:

(a) The Commission-authorizes field-testing of the CMS Criminal Justice Defensive Tactics Basic Recruit Training Program curriculum, effective August 1, 2018.

(b) For those participating in the field-test, the Commission approves the CMS Criminal Justice Defensive Tactics field-test as the required high liability defensive tactics training curriculum for the law enforcement, corrections, and correctional probation basic recruit training programs.

(c) Training curricula for the CMS Criminal Justice Defensive Tactics field-test shall be maintained within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice Professionalism Division. 

(d) Testing of CMS Criminal Justice Defensive Tactics Curriculum shall be conducted in three phases by Commission-certified criminal justice training schools. Schools conducting the field-test must remain with the field-test throughout its duration. The Professionalism Division will be responsible for ensuring participating schools have the most up-to-date defensive tactics field-test curriculum.

1. Phase I – the first phase of the field-test will include four Commission-certified training schools and involve at least one law enforcement, corrections, and correctional probation basic recruit class. To participate, schools must request in writing approval from the Director of the Criminal Justice Professionalism Division. The Professionalism Division will select schools to participate in this phase.

2. Phase II – the second phase will include schools from the initial field test with the addition of seven Commission-certified training schools. To participate, schools must request in writing approval from the Director of the Criminal Justice Professionalism Division. The Professionalism Division will select schools to participate in this phase, giving consideration to small, medium, and large training schools, and schools representing the various regions of the state.

3. Phase III – the final phase is open to all Commission-certified training schools. Prior to starting a field test, Phase III schools must request in writing approval from the Director of the Criminal Justice Professionalism Division.

(e) All field-tests of the CMS Criminal Justice Defensive Tactics Basic Recruit Training Program curriculum revision must include a lead instructor who has completed the Specialized Defensive Tactics Instructor Update Course number 1200.

(f) Students receiving the field-test training must show proficiency in accordance with the CMS Criminal Justice Defensive Tactics field-test curriculum and field-test CJSTC Form 6A.

(g) Students participating in the CMS Criminal Justice Defensive Tactics field-test shall be students seeking Commission training for the purpose of completing a law enforcement, corrections, or correctional probation basic recruit training program.

(h) This rule section shall expire upon Commission acceptance and approval of the enhanced CMS Criminal Justice Defensive Tactics curriculum and promulgation of the updated CJSTC Form 6.
