RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

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

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on April 23, 2014, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission received a petition for a temporary waiver of the requirements of subparagraph 11B-27.002(4)(a)(b), F.A.C., by Andrea D. Kirkland. Petitioner wishes to waive that portion of the rule which requires an officer to obtain employment within four years of beginning basic recruit training. The Petitioner asserts that she could not obtain employment within the four year window. The Petitioner asserts that she is in the process of becoming hired by Florida City Police Department. The Petition states that the operation of the rule would violate the principles of fairness because Petitioner is so close to employment with Florida City PD. The Petition states that the operation of the rule creates a substantial hardship for Petitioner because to force her to retake basic and pass the exam at this point would be penalizing her for the lengthy hiring process she has been through. Petitioner seeks a temporary variance to ensure that the Petitioner can be processed into her position with Florida City PD.

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 telephone: [phone].
