NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on December 29, 2011, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for a permanent waiver of paragraph 11B-35.001(9)(b), F.A.C., from Sarasota Criminal Justice Academy on behalf of three course participants. The three course participants commenced an Advanced Training Course on September 28, 2009, the same day that paragraph 11B-35.001(9)(b), F.A.C., changed a passing score from 75% to 80% for CJSTC-certified courses. The three participants scored 79% on their end-of-course examinations, which would have been a passing score the day before the course commenced, but was no longer because of the rule change. The Petitioner requests that the Commission grant the three participants a permanent waiver of paragraph 11B-35.001(9)(b), F.A.C., in order for their scores to be considered passing scores for the Advanced Training Course, Interviews and Interrogations, beginning September 28, 2009, and ending October 2, 2009.
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.
