11B-35.006Advanced Training Program

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement hereby gives notice:

On February 8, 2017, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC) issued a Final Order granting a waiver of paragraph 11B-35.006(1)(b), F.A.C., to Paul Kiley, Chairman of the Training Center Directors Association, on behalf of the officers named in the Petition. Paragraph 11B-35.006(1)(b), F.A.C., lists active Advanced Training Program Courses; the waiver permits Petitioners to receive credit for the Advanced Training Program courses they completed even though these courses were technically retired at the time of their completion. The Petition was filed on December 21, 2016, and notice of the petition was published on January 6, 2017, in Vol. 43, No. 4, of the Florida Administrative Register. No public comments were received. In rendering its decision, the CJSTC determined that Petitioners would suffer a substantial hardship were the waiver not granted as they would be ineligible to receive credit for completed course work or to submit such coursework for consideration for salary incentives, job assignments, and career advancement opportunities. The CJSTC also determined that the waiver would satisfy the purpose of the underlying statutes as the advanced coursework completed by Petitioners enhanced their knowledge, skills, and abilities.
