NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 04, 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., by Indian River State College on behalf of Officer Alonzo Coleman, Jr. The rule requires officers to achieve a score of 80% or higher on Advanced and Specified Specialized Training Program Courses. Prior to September of 2009, passing scores for these courses were 75% or higher. Officer Coleman achieved 78% in a course taught at the time the rule changed the passing score from 75% to 80%. Both Officer Coleman and IRSC request that the score he achieved in 2009 be credited as a passing score as it would have been if the course had begun several days earlier and prior to the implementation date of the rule that changed passing scores on these courses from 75% to 80%.
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.
