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 25, 2014, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training, received a petition for a temporary variance of the requirements of paragraph 11B-27.002(4)(a)(b), F.A.C., by George F. Record, II. 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 he could not obtain employment within the four year window. The Petitioner asserts that he is in the process of becoming hired by Mexico Beach Police Department (MBPD) where he is a Reserve Officer. The Petition states that the operation of the rule would violate the principles of fairness because Petitioner is so close to employment with MBPD. The Petition states that the operation of the rule creates a substantial hardship for Petitioner because he has attempted to become employed with many agencies for the last four years and is not very close to completing employment prerequisites with MBPD. Petitioner seeks a temporary 60 day variance to ensure that the Petitioner can be processed into his position with MBPD.

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].
