11B-35.009: Exemption from Basic Recruit Training

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 2, 2013, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission received a petition for a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-35.009(8), F.A.C., from Christian Michael Eriksen, to cover six months prospectively from April 20, 2013. The Petitioner wishes to waive that portion of the rule that requires an officer to obtain employment within four years of the beginning date of required proficiency demonstration completed to obtain an out-of-state equivalency of training exemption from full basic recruit training. The Petitioner states that he received a conditional offer of employment ten days before the expiry of his four year window. He wishes to continue the employment process and requests a permanent waiver of the rule for six months from April 20, 2013, the day his equivalency of training four year employment window expired.

Petitioner states that the application of the rule violates the principles of fairness in his situation because he has in hand a conditional offer of employment. Petitioner states that he will suffer economic hardship under the rule as it is applied. Petitioner states that the underlying statute has already been fulfilled because he has a conditional offer of employment that was made prior to the closing of his four-year employment window.

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 telephoning [phone].
