    RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
    11B-27.002: Certification, Employment or Appointment, Reactivation, and Terminating Employment or Appointment of Officers

    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on July 31, 2012, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.002(4), F.A.C., by Rockledge Police Department on behalf of Nichole Parrish. The rule requires candidates to become employed within four years of beginning a basic recruit training course. The Petitioner wishes to certify Ms. Parrish whose status became inactive during the employment process. The Petitioner states that Ms. Parrish signed a conditional offer of employment for a reserve law enforcement officer position with the agency in November of 2011. Administrative changes forced Ms. Parrish’s employment status to languish for many months. In January of 2012, the Petitioner attempted to complete Ms. Parrish’s hiring, but could not because her law enforcement certificate was inactive. Petitioner wishes to hire Ms. Parrish and states that it would create a hardship for the agency and for Ms. Parrish if the rule waiver were not granted and Ms. Parrish had to retake basic recruit training. The agency further states that it would violate principles of fairness for Ms. Parrish to be punished for falling victim to circumstances that were beyond her control. The CJSTC entertained a similar request from Pasco County Sheriff’s Office on behalf of Brian Call in case number VAR-2007-24. The order granting the waiver in VAR-2007-24 was reported in Florida Administrative Weekly Vol. 33, No. 38, September 21, 2007.

    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 (850)410-7676.
