PURPOSE:

Sub-paragraph 11B-27.0011(4)(b)1., F.A.C.: Amends current rule language to add the charge of “video voyeurism” back into the list of misdemeanor moral character violations and associated penalty guideline because a 2019 statutory change was made allowing for individuals 18 years old to become certified in corrections.

Subsection 11B-27.00212(4), F.A.C.: Incorporates the revised Mandatory Retraining Report, form CJSTC-74, pursuant to the 2021 Florida Legislature which passed legislation and adds instructions to the form to mandate retraining for law enforcement officers in the proper use of electronic databases.
Paragraph 11B-27.00212(5)(e), F.A.C.: Adds a training requirement in Use of Electronic Databases for law enforcement officers, pursuant to the 2021 Legislature which passed legislation to add the training requirement to the 40-hour mandatory retraining requirement for law enforcement officers.
Paragraphs 11B-27.00212(17)(a)-(d), F.A.C.: Adds a section (17), pursuant to the 2020 Florida Legislature which created s. 943.17298, F.S., requiring all law enforcement officers to complete training in recognition and responses to head trauma and brain injury in a child under 6 years of age.
Paragraphs 11B-27.00212(18)(a)-(d), F.A.C.: Adds a section (18) to Rule 11B-27.00212, F.A.C., pursuant to the 2021 Florida Legislature which created s. 943.1724, F.S., requiring all law enforcement officers to complete training in sexual assault investigation.
