- a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from the Town of South Palm Beach Police Department on behalf of Officer Buffalino. 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 Officer Buffalino did successfully complete the course of fire, however, the instructor who supervised the mandatory shoot was not fully certified as a CJSTC firearms instructor at the time of the officer’s requalification. 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 affected by this situation did successfully complete the requirement simply because the instructor had failed to comply with all administrative aspects of firearms instructor certification.

The Petitioner demonstrated that the strict application of the Commission's rules in this case would violate the principles of fairness. The Petitioner’s officer Buffalino had, in fact, completed the Commission’s course of fire and achieved a passing score.

Further, the Petitioner ensured that Officer Buffalino completed a successful re-shoot of the proper course of fire under a fully certified firearms instructor prior to presenting the rule waiver to the Commission.
