Textbook Printing for Florida Basic Recruit Training Curriculum Volumes 1 and 2 and Traditional Correctional BRT
The FDLE Criminal Justice Professionalism Program annually produces three textbooks, referred to as Florida BRT Curriculum Volumes 1 and 2 and Traditional Correctional BRTP. The textbooks have been designed for Florida criminal justice officer basic recruit classroom training and as a study guide for the mandated State Officer Certification Examination. At minimum, basic recruits must have a high school diploma or GED and must be at least 19 years of age.
FDLE seeks to secure professional printing, binding, and distribution of these textbooks. Florida-based training schools and other parties will order the textbooks.
