- That on November 10, 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 Inglis Police Department on behalf of one officer for the 2010 reporting period (7/1/2008 – 6/30/2010). 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 and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor.
The petition supported the requested waiver by stating that the officer at issue did successfully complete the course of fire, however, the instructor supervising the requalifications was not a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. Petitioner states that the officer will suffer a substantial hardship if his certification is 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 officer did successfully complete the requirement simply because a non-CJSTC-certified firearms instructor supervised the 2010 mandatory firearms requalification for the officer. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 38, No. 1, on January 6, 2012.
On February 2, 2012, pursuant to notice, at its regularly scheduled Business Agenda meeting held in Destin, Florida, the Commission found that the Petitioner’s situation is unique. The Petitioner demonstrated that the strict application of the Commission’s rules in this case would violate the principles of fairness. The Petitioner’s officers had, in fact, completed the Commission’s course of fire and achieved a passing score. The only deficiency in the officers’ firearms requalifications was to be supervised by non-CJSTC-certified firearms instructors. The Commission found that the purposes of the underlying statute, to ensure that officers receive adequate and timely retraining, will be met by granting this waiver request. The Commission issued an order granting the Petitioner’s waiver.

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 and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the officer at issue did successfully complete the course of fire, however, there is no CJSTC 86A form on file showing that the officer completed the course of fire. Petitioner states that the officer will suffer a substantial hardship if his certification is 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 officer did successfully complete the requirement simply because his CJSTC 86A form is missing for the 2008 mandatory firearms requalification for the officer. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 37, No. 48, on December 2, 2011.
