PURPOSE:

Sub-paragraph 11B-35.002(3)(a)3., F.A.C.: Adds a rule reference to allow a person who completes the EOT process to enter cross-over training without becoming employed in the EOT discipline.
Sub-paragraphs 11B-35.002(6)(c)1.-8., F.A.C.: Removes the retired courses that are no longer eligible for completion and incorporates the revised list of retired courses that are eligible for completion provided that they are still within 4 years from the beginning date of the training.
Sub-paragraph 11B-35.0024(3)(a)2., F.A.C.: Incorporates the revised Defensive Tactics Performance Evaluation, form CJSTC-6, to reflect inclusion of Equivalency of Training students; clarification that only basic recruit and instructor students are required to pass an end-of-course examination; allows the training school to record when an EOT student fails to demonstrate the proficiency skills; and adds a line to pages to include student name and ID number to ensure pages of the form can be identified should the pages become separated.
Sub-paragraph 11B-35.0024(3)(c)2., F.A.C.: Incorporates the revised Firearms Performance Evaluation, form CJSTC-4, to reflect inclusion of Equivalency of Training students; clarification that only basic recruit and instructor students are required to pass an end-of-course examination; and allows the training school to record when an EOT student fails to demonstrate the proficiency skills.
Sub-paragraph 11B-35.0024(3)(f)2., F.A.C.: Incorporates the revised First Aid Performance Evaluation, form CJSTC-5, to reflect inclusion of Equivalency of Training students; clarification that only basic recruit and instructor students are required to pass an end-of-course examination; and allows the training school to record when an EOT student fails to demonstrate the proficiency skills.
Sub-paragraph 11B-35.0024(3)(h)2., F.A.C.: Incorporates the revised Vehicle Operations Performance Evaluation, form CJSTC-7, to reflect inclusion of Equivalency of Training students; clarification that only basic recruit and instructor students are required to pass an end-of-course examination; allows the training school to record when an EOT student fails to demonstrate the proficiency skills; removes requirement for Figure 8 and Breaking exercises to be done first; removes requirement for shuffle steering and slide recovery during certain exercises; removes redundant language and makes practice runs optional for EOT students; and makes use of sirens during night time exercises optional.
Subsection 11B-35.009(7), F.A.C.: Amends the rule because the 2020 Florida Legislature 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. The 2021 Florida Legislature created s. 943.1724, F.S., requiring all law enforcement officers complete training in sexual assault investigations.  Clarifies that training in elder abuse investigations required pursuant to s. 943.17296, F.S. must be completed by persons approved for an exemption from training. Officers approved for an exemption from training do not complete Florida basic recruit training and would not receive the above training otherwise.
