  • RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
    11B-27.00212: Maintenance of Officer Certification
    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on September 15, 2011, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Windermere Police Department on behalf of 22 officers for the 2006-2008 (7/1/2006 – 6/30/2008) reporting period, and for 12 officers for the 2008-2010 (7/1/2008 – 6/30/2010) reporting period subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the officers did successfully complete the course of fire, however, the instructors conducting the course of fire were not CJSTC certified firearms instructors during the 2008 and 2010 reporting cycle. Petitioner states that the 34 officers will suffer a substantial hardship if their certifications are rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further states that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officers did successfully complete the requirement simply because the instructors were not CJSTC certified firearms instructors for the requalification shoots during the 2008 and 2010 reporting cycles.
    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, (850)410-7676.
