NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on September 23, 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 Lady Lake Police Department on behalf of two officers for the 2008 – 2010 (7/1/2008 – 6/30/2010) reporting period 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 the officers at issue did successfully complete the course of fire, however, they were supervised by a non-CJSTC certified firearms instructor. Petitioner states that the officers will suffer a substantial hardship if their 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 officers did successfully complete the requirement simply because they were supervised by a non-CJSTC certified firearms instructor.
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.
