11B-35.0010eLearning Instruction

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement hereby gives notice that on February 7, 2017, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC) issued a Final Order granting a temporary, one-year waiver of Rule 11B-35.0010(1), F.A.C., to Colonel Gene S. Spaulding, Director, Florida Highway Patrol, on behalf of the members included in training course sequence number 08-2017-1180-1. Subsection 11B-35.0010(1), F.A.C., permits training schools to use eLearning instruction for specified Commission-approved training and instructor courses; the waiver permits FHP to also use eLearning instruction for certain courses offered to auxiliary officer basic recruits. The Petition was filed on November 17, 2016, and notice of the petition was published on December 22, 2016, in Vol. 42, No. 247, of the Florida Administrative Register. No public comments were received. In rendering its decision, the CJSTC determined that Petitioner would suffer a substantial hardship were the waiver not granted as a number of its full-time, sworn instructors would miss their regularly-scheduled patrol shifts to provide in-person instruction, and that a waiver in this matter would serve the purpose of the underlying statutes as it would continue the delivery of effective and consistent training to auxiliary officer basic recruits in Florida.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Dana Kelly, Agency Clerk, by mail at Agency Clerk-Office of the General Counsel, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, P.O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302; by email at [e-mail] or by telephone at [phone].
