NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 14, 2009, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission has issued an order.
Kathy Merus petitioned the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission for a waiver of paragraph 11B-35.0024(2)(a), Florida Administrative Code, which permits basic recruit training students in criminal justice programs to retake either one cognitive or one skills test during their basic recruit training. Ms. Merus was permitted to retake both a cognitive and a skills examination by her training school. This was not discovered by the school until after Ms. Merus had passed the State Officer Certification Examination and had become employed as a law enforcement officer. Commission staff received the petition on March 25, 2009. Notice of the receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly Vol. 35, No. 14, on April 10, 2009. The Commission voted to grant the petition at its regularly scheduled and noticed meeting held May 14, 2009, in Tampa, Florida.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Grace A. Jaye, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, P. O. Box 1489, Tallahassee, FL 32302, (850)410-7676.
