NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on July 08, 2011, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for a temporary variance of paragraph 11B-30.006(2)(a), F.A.C., by William M. Lamb. Paragraph 11B-30.006(2)(a), F.A.C., requires individuals wishing to take the State Officer Certification Examination to first pass basic recruit training within four years of commencing such training. The Petitioner wishes to be granted a variance for six months to permit him to: complete the one class (defensive tactics) he needs to pass basic recruit training; take and pass the State Officer Certification Examination; and, gain employment in Florida as a law enforcement officer. The Petitioner states as a reason for granting the waiver that he has been out-of-state for nearly three years caring for an ailing stepparent. The Petitioner states that he is facing a hardship of being considered an out of state student if he is forced to recommence basic recruit training.
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 or, by telephoning (850)410-7676.
