    RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:

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

    The Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission hereby gives notice: The Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission has issued an order. On April 3, 2013, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission received a petition for a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.002(4), F.A.C., by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) on behalf of Ismith Bocaille. Petitioner wished to waive that portion of the rule which requires an officer to obtain employment within four years of beginning basic recruit training. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly Volume 38, Number 71, on April 11, 2013.

    On May 9, 2013, at its regularly scheduled business agenda meeting held in Sarasota, FL, the Commission found that the Petitioner’s situation is unique. The Petitioner demonstrated that the strict application of the Commission's rules in this case would violate the principles of fairness. The Commission found that the purposes of the underlying statute, Section 943.13, F.S., to ensure that officers meet strict qualification criteria and minimum training requirements, would be addressed in an alternative method by granting this rule waiver. The Commission granted the Petitioner's waiver request. The Petitioner has thirty days from the date of the Commission vote in this matter to employ Ismith Bocaille as a law enforcement officer.

    A copy of the Order or additional information 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 (850)410-7676.
