TRAINING CENTER DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION REMARKS

The TCDA Chair Jay Romine of the Manatee Technical College, Criminal Justice Academy, provided the following report from the May 2021 business meeting: • Introduction of New Director: Captain Brian Bosco of the Volusia County Sheriff’s Training Academy. • Election of Officers: Director Theresa Garcia of the Polk State College, Kenneth C. Thompson Institute of Public Safety, was elected South Chair; Director Sandy Hotwagner of the Suncoast Technical College, Criminal Justice Academy, was re-elected TCDA treasurer; and Director Romine was re-elected TCDA chair. Chair Ford congratulated Chair Romine on his re-election. • Congratulations were extended to Director E. E. Eunice of the Tallahassee Community College, Florida Public Safety Institute, Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy, on his upcoming retirement. Chair Romine also acknowledged Director Eunice’s 55 years of dedicated service in law enforcement and wished him well in future endeavors. • The 2021 Chairman’s Choice Award was presented to Director Nicole Taylor of the Florida Department of Corrections, Staff Development and Training, for her untiring work and willingness to say “yes” when called upon to serve the TCDA. • As reported during the February 2021 Commission meeting, the proposed legislation to authorize retirees of the Florida Retirement System (FRS) to be reemployed under certain circumstances has failed over the past five years. As a result, the TCDA has continued to lose quality instructors when they retire from training centers and have to take a year off before re-enrolling in FRS. Senator Tom Wright (District 14) has pledged to support the ongoing efforts of the TCDA. Chair Romine is hopeful that Senator Wright’s support will be instrumental in passing the proposed legislation during the next Legislative Session.

Director Dean Register of the Criminal Justice Professionalism (CJP) Division reported the following: • Research & Training Specialist Ashley Williams, seated in the audience, was introduced as the new case specialist within the Bureau of Standards (Professional Compliance). • Vickie Koenig was recently promoted to Deputy Director of the CJP Division. On behalf of the Commission, Director Register congratulated Deputy Director Koenig.

Significant items of interest to the Commission include the following: 1) FDLE requested and received $6.4 million in General Revenue to support the Trust Fund and maintain $80 per officer for advanced and specialized training. 2) The Law Enforcement Reform Bill passed.

Director Register stated that this would be a departure of the role of the Commission. • Last year’s 2020 Hall of Fame induction ceremony was postponed due to the COVID pandemic. The upcoming Florida Law Enforcement Officers’ Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 15, 2021, in the Florida Capitol Courtyard. The ceremony will honor 10 inductees for both 2020 and 2021.

Bureau Chief Ashley Pennington presented this agenda item to the Commission to request approval of the Specialized Training Program: De-escalation Techniques for Criminal Justice Professionals, course number 1411, and its corresponding instructor guide. 1. The Commission is responsible for maintaining Specialized Training Program Courses for Commission-certified law enforcement, correctional, and correctional probation officers. Courses in the Specialized Training Program may be delivered using Criminal Justice Standards and Training Officer Training Trust Fund Monies. 2. Due to recent discussions of police reform and requests received for additional training, Commission staff started development on a Specialized course focused solely on de- escalation. Staff originally planned to create a course that would be eight hours in duration and would be delivered to the Commission for approval in February 2021. However, once staff began workshops with subject matter experts (SMEs), it became clear that more content was needed and that an eight-hour course would not be sufficient. The goal of staff was shifted to create a sixteen-hour course and present it to the Commission in May of 2021. 3. Staff has reviewed the established literature and current trainings being delivered around the nation to ensure that this course will contain evidence-based instruction on de-escalation techniques, as well as survey data from Florida. Staff drafted content and held virtual workshops with SMEs. Based on their input, staff created a second draft of the course, including real-world scenarios that give students an opportunity to practice the techniques they learn. The second draft was reviewed by the SMEs, staff editors, and staff’s Office of General Counsel. RECOMMENDATION: Commission staff recommended the Commission approve the Specialized Training Program: De-escalation Techniques for Criminal Justice Professionals, course number 1411, and its corresponding instructor guide. COMMISSION ACTION: Commissioner Prummell moved that the Commission adopt Commission staff’s recommendation; seconded by Commissioner Portman; motion carried. Pending Commission approval during the 7 May 2021 Minutes August 2021 Commission Meeting Chair Ford advised Bureau Chief Pennington that he was very impressed with the de-escalation training and extended thanks to her, Commission staff, and SMEs for developing such a timely topic that he feels will be well-received by all.

A workshop is typically held to discuss the proposed rules; however, based on the proposed changes, there are no plans to hold a workshop because Commission staff will be able to cover the rule discussion during the business meeting. • The new CJSTC rules will become effective on May 20, 2021. Commission staff will craft and distribute a technical memorandum outlining a summary of substantive changes. • During the February 2021 Commission meeting, Volusia County Sheriff’s Office was granted approval for certification as a training school. Recently, Commission staff received a request from Hernando County Sheriff’s Office to be certified as a Commission-approved training school. Later this month, staff will schedule a training needs assessment. It is anticipated that staff will present the request to the Commission during the August 2021 meeting in Ponte Vedra Beach. • An update was provided on two TCDA-related waivers that currently extend until August 13, 2021. The first waiver deals with the Defensive Tactics Instructor Update Course. To date, approximately 800 instructors still need to take the course. The training centers are making progress to ensure they are trained. The second waiver continues to allow for distance learning as a platform for basic recruit academy programs. Since COVID restrictions are being lifted to some degree, staff does not have any intentions of extending the waiver again, but will continue to work with the Training Center Directors to make sure that their needs are met. Chair Ford addressed the Governor’s Executive Order, effective July 1, 2021, and asked the Commission’s opinion regarding the suspension of hybrid/virtual Commission proceedings. In light of agencies and entities resuming in- person operations and services, the Commission agreed to hold future Probable Cause/Officer Discipline Hearings and Commission meetings face-to-face.

GOTOMEETING ADJOURNED Chair Ford requested a motion, and Commissioner Spaulding moved to adjourn the GoToMeeting at 10:36 a.m.; seconded by Commissioner Murphy; motion carried. Note: The Commission reconvened at 10:50 a.m. for the CJSTC Officer Disciplinary Hearings.

Officer Training; Advanced Training Program: Domestic Intervention and Investigation, course number 091 (Rewrite)

ISSUE NUMBER 1 This agenda item is presented to the Commission to approve the rewritten Domestic Intervention and Investigation, course number 091.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The Commission is responsible for maintaining Advanced Training Program Courses for Commission-certified law enforcement, correctional, and correctional probation officers. Courses in the Advanced Training Program are eligible for salary incentive monies, or may be delivered using Criminal Justice Standards and Training Officer Training Trust Fund Monies. 2. The advanced course number 091, Domestic Intervention and Investigation, was developed in 1986 in support of career development training. Updates to this high-demand course have been limited to responding to legislative changes. 3. Subject matter experts expanded the dynamics of domestic violence to include intimate partner violence, strangulation, stalking, cyberstalking, sexual cyberharassment, financial abuse, and the role of mental illness and substance abuse. New topics describe domestic violence in Florida’s diverse communities to include children; teenagers; the elderly, disabled, and LGBTQ+ communities; the homeless and migrant populations; officer- involved domestic violence; and the relationship of domestic violence to human trafficking. Officers will understand the short- and long-term effects of domestic violence on victims and their families and communities, the economic toll, and the effects on the law enforcement community. Investigating domestic violence includes a culturally and trauma-informed response during the initial response, when conducting the risk assessment, interviewing, gathering evidence, and determining the abuser, while maintaining officer safety. Emphasis is placed on gathering sufficient information that will stand independent from victim testimony. A thorough discussion regarding civil and criminal orders, risk protection orders, and violations of injunctions emphasizes the officer’s role in promoting victim safety. An expanded section on victim rights and services stresses the officer’s role in providing victim assistance and guidance at the scene and collaborating with advocates and social services to maintain victim safety and gather additional evidence for a successful prosecution. The course and instructor guide provide real-life scenarios that encourage officers to draw on their past experiences with domestic violence incidents and explore effective responses and investigative techniques.

RECOMMENDATION(s): Commission staff recommends the Commission approve the rewritten 80-hour Domestic Intervention and Investigation, course number 091, in the Advanced Training Program, with an effective date of August 19, 2021.

VOTING IMPACT CONSEQUENCES OF A “YES” VOTE ON STAFF RECOMMENDATION: A “yes” vote shall allow Commission- certified training schools to provide training with the updated Domestic Intervention and Investigation course, effective August 19, 2021.

CONSEQUENCES OF A “NO” VOTE ON STAFF RECOMMENDATION: A “no” vote shall not allow Commission- certified training schools to provide training with the updated Domestic Intervention and Investigation course.

For purposes of this section, “substantial hardship” means a demonstrated economic, technological, legal, or other type of hardship to the person requesting the variance or waiver. For purposes of this section, “principles of fairness” are violated when the literal application of a rule affects a particular person in a manner significantly different from the way it affects other similarly situated persons who are subject to the rule.

To Whom It May Concern,

Please consider this letter to be my strong recommendation for Matthew Rojas. During the time that I have had the pleasure of knowing Matthew, he has always showed genuine interest and commitment to working in the Law Enforcement profession.

Matthew would make an excellent Law Enforcement Officer. He is adaptive, willing to learn, grounded and has excellent communication skills and the ability to quickly think on his feet. Furthermore, he has a strong desire for continual learning and for accepting the challenging road ahead of him to become a law enforcement officer.

In addition to his desire to become a Law Enforcement Officer, while attending and after graduating the Law Enforcement Academy; I often enjoy Matthew’s easy and confident communication style. Matthew is a pleasure to frequently interact with and frequently asks insightful questions that display a willingness to learn, and that are productive for his development as a future law enforcement officer.

It is with high confidence that I recommend any Law Enforcement Agency to consider Matthew as a candidate for hire. He would be a benefit to your agency and be a valuable contribution.

If whomever has any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely, Deputy Kaitlyn Dodge-Marra Orange County Sheriff's Office UPD, Sector 2; Squad 6 Cell: 248-719-9664 Email: [email protected]

May 26, 2021

To whomever it may concern,

I would like to extend the warmest of recommendations to Matthew Rojas, and vouch for his character, work ethic, and integrity. Mr. Rojas was my direct supervisor for approximately one year as a private security officer, and I had the opportunity to spend countless hours working with him. In the time spent working with Mr. Rojas, I witnessed him interact with many different people in his role as a security officer, and later as a security supervisor. One of the things that stood out to me was his maturity. He treated everyone he contacted with the utmost of respect, from wealthy business executives and celebrities to customers coming in for a shopping experience. He was measured and thoughtful when making decisions, and never abused his authority as a security officer or as a supervisor. He was receptive to advice and suggestions from those he worked with and supervised and would often act upon the input he received from his team. The security industry can be cutthroat and contentious, but he worked his hardest to foster a positive team environment in whatever shift he happened to work with. It is with the utmost confidence that I am honored to recommend Matthew Rojas to you. He is an honorable, intelligent, hard working and compassionate person, and would be a fantastic fit at your agency. If you have any other questions pertaining to his character, please do not hesitate to call me at the cell number listed above.

Sincerely, Isaac Minck Former VPS Security Officer

Good Day, Mr. Bufano

I will be forwarding email to Human Resources Assistant Manager Nivea Colin and Manager Diana Viscarra today. I have been given assurances from the HR department that upon getting my certification extended, I will be able to start my position as a Deputy Sheriff with the Broward Sheriff’s Office. They have explained to me that sole reason why I have not been offered a start date at this time is because of the expired certification. Everything else is in place.

I will be happy to make a request for Human Resources to give you a call and clarify all your concerns, pertaining to the 06/09/21 email and my completion of the hiring process on 06/4/21. They will be able to assure you that once my certification is extended, I will be able to start my new position.

Ms. Ayala‐Simmons,

I have reviewed the supporting documents that you have sent with you petition for rule waiver. In the email dated June 9, 2021 from BCSO Assistant Manager of Selection and Assessment, it appears that the agency has offered you a sworn position but was unable to provide a start date due to your lapse in time frame for becoming certified. Can you confirm this? Specifically I am asking if the agency is ready to move forward with an official offer and start date should you receive the waiver.

Any information you can provide would be helpful. Please feel free to have someone from BSCO contact me if you feel that would be beneficial.

Petition for waiver of Rule 11B-35.002 and 11B-27.002(4)

Andrew Orcutt

FDLE Agency Clerk,

My name is Andrew Orcutt. I have wanted to be in law enforcement for as long as I can remember. I had worked all my life towards that goal. In 2016, I was finally ready to take that plunge and put myself through the law enforcement academy. I worked hard for six months to get ready for and pass the state exam. On June 15th of 2017 I did just that, I passed the state exam. After doing so, I searched for a law enforcement career but ran into some road blocks along the way. I wanted a job with a local law enforcement agency due to health issues and not wanting to move away from family due to this. Also, the Lee County Sheriff's Office was the agency that I really wanted to work for. It has always seemed to me to be a model agency and embodied everything I was looking for in a criminal justice agency.

I have an underlying health issue that would be a disqualifier at most agencies. I have epilepsy. This was the largest issue that I had ran into. Though on paper it would seem that it would be an issue, I am under the care of a physician and have been in remission since late 2015. This has caused me a great amount of stress and personal hardship. I have been seizure free for over five years but I can see that it would be a liability to an agency. I am very fortuneate that the Lee County Sheriff's Office gave me the chance that no others would.

In October of 2017 I had gotten a full time job at Home Depot to help out with expenses at home and to hold me over until I got a job in law enforcement. Also I thought it would behoove me to have a solid work history, so I did not apply very often at this time. And if I had testing for an agency, I could not attend half of the time because of my schedule and not wanting to call out. It would have been unprofessional to do so. And if I had not gone to work, I could have been penalized which would cause

August 2021 Commission Meeting 3 Agenda Item 6E an economic hardship.

When I gained employment with the Lee County Sheriff's Office I was given a position in Corrections, even though at the time I had applied I had my law enforcement certification. Due to Covid, the hiring process was prolonged and my conditional offer was only 10 days before my certification expired. The agency only holds what is termed pre-deployment training every couple of months, so it would have been expired once I gained employment. I was then offered a position in corrections instead. It would create a severe economic hardship to have to retake the basic recruit academy again.

Now, fast forward to October of 2018, I was hired by the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. I thought this was a good way of getting my feet wet in the criminal justice system. Then in 2020 along came the opportunity of a lifetime when I was informed I was hired by the Lee County Sheriff's Office last year. I was given a conditional offer of employment in January of 2021 but I could not start until the Corrections class 161 started, which was delayed due to Covid. And because all classes are staggered about four months apart, I had to wait. That would have been within the four years since the begining of my law enforcement academy training. However, due to Covid, the academy was shut down for a period of time, thus the classes were pushed back as well. I was then hired February 16th of 2021, which was 30 days after my certification expired. I was to use both Law Enforcement and Corrections certifications while working for the Lee County Sheriff's Office. I had received a letter from the Lee County Sheriff's Office on January 7th that my hire date was February 16th.

Also, I would like to add that the time period for certification is not clear and should play a role in this. I, and my agency, were under the impression that I would be within that time period and had even went as far as scheduled training for this week to keep my certification up to date. Most, if not all, the people I have spoken to in law enforcement are under the impression that it expires four years after taking the state exam. This would make sense since this would be analogous to a lawyer; ie. a lawyer is not a lawyer until they take the bar exam. Also, I have spoken to a few staff members at FDLE and many of them are also under the impression that it expires four years from the date the state exam was taken. It is my belief that there is unsufficient information about this rule and should be taken into consideration. I wish that the confusion can be resolved and this information will help others in the future with more literature on the requrements to become a law enforcement officer in the state of Florida. Though it may be quite clear in the Florida Administrative Code, it has been my experience that this information is not dissiminated to criminal justice agencies. Most I have come in contact with are not aware of the true deadline of expiration. This is not a critique but a statement that I wanted the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to be aware of.

August 2021 Commission Meeting 4 Agenda Item 6E Due to the above reasons, I wish to petition for waiver of rule 11B-35.002. I have worked hard and experienced setbacks during my road to employment. I ask for this waiver due to the above circumstances that were out of my and my agency's control. Also, I would like to emphesize that the date of conditional offer was before my certification expired. And I was not informed that my certification was expired until recently when my agency attempted to register me for training to keep my certification active. Attached is a letter of support from my agency.

Thank you,

Andrew Orcutt

RE: PETITION FOR WAIVER OF RULE 11B- 27.00213 TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Dear FDLE Agency Clerk: I am requesting a waiver of rule 11B-27.00213 Temporary Employment Authorization. My petition pertains to section (4)(b) which prohibits someone being employed on a second Temporary Employment authorization within four years of the previous one.I did attend an approved training course, but due to family issues I had to resign from my position at Desoto Annex in Arcadia, Florida. I attended the training course at the Desoto Annex and completed my courses on November 3,2020, except for one and I was to complete that course the following month. I was unable to complete this course due to the following hardships with my children and family. I am a father of two, I have a nine-year-old son and a six-year-old daughter, in which I share 50/50 shared custody with their mother. Prior, to starting the academy I was working day shift 12 hour shifts from 7am to 7pm and every other weekend. In order to make this work, I arranged a schedule with the children’s mother and my family to make a schedule that works, so I was able to attend work with no difficulties. During the academy, the schedule with the children continued to work and I was able to attend the academy, except for two days where I developed pink eye and was out of work, with a doctor’s medical note excuse. After completing my Academy, I was placed back into the Annex with a new schedule, with a notification less than two weeks. Unfortunately, I was switched to a different shift which was night shift 7pm-7am, resulting in

August 2021 Commission Meeting 3 Agenda Item 6F opposite weekends and working nights. I have two children who I share custody 50/50. I had changed my schedule previously with the children’s mother, so I was able to attend work. Due to my schedule change on such short notice, I was unable to find a babysitter resulting in multiple call-offs, ultimately leading to my resignation. I had discussed my issue with management, and nothing was able to be done due to short staffing on the shift I was on. Law enforcement is the career I have such desire for, and I so eagerly want to work in this job setting. I recently applied for a job with Hardee Prison and was denied, because it has not been four years. I am very hopeful and wanting to be granted this emergency waiver so I can resume working in a career that I love to do. Since my resignation, I have kept up on all required medical, physical and other requirements so I can proceed with employment if my waiver has been granted. I have sufficiently trained and done my courses in the academy so I can go forward with my certification and career, and if my waiver is granted, I will continue to do so. I am requesting for my hold time to be lifted, so I can have enough time to be hired, finish my courses at a FDLE approved training and become employed. I have worked extremely hard and will continue to so I can be the best I can be in law enforcement.

Rule Waiver Requested for 11B-35.0010(1) and 11B-21.005(3), F.A.C.

As a result of the growing health concerns surrounding the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), the Florida Criminal Justice Training Center Director’s Association Chairman Jay Romine comes forth on behalf of all of the Criminal Justice Standards & Training Commission (CJSTC) certified academies to request a waiver of Rule 11B- 35.0010(1) and 11B-21.005(3). These waivers are necessary in order ensure training centers certified by the CJSTC are able to continue to deliver certain specified portions of law enforcement, corrections, correctional probation basic recruit and cross-over curriculums in a format other than in a classroom, “face-to-face” setting during this situation. This is necessary to stay within CDC recommendations but still allowing training of mission critical criminal justice recruits.

Rule 11B-35.0010(1) F.A.C. only allows training schools to use eLearning instruction for Commission approved Specialized Training Program Courses and Specialized Instructor Courses, and courses created from Specialized Goals and Objectives. The purpose of waiving this rule is to extend the permission to utilize eLearning delivery for certain basic recruit classes as well, during this period.

While many sections in the basic recruit curriculum require hands-on demonstration type training and all sections are designed to be administered via face-to-face format, there are certain sections and portions of sections in non-high liability courses that could be administered through eLearning. This would be an emergency type action as the current situation will inevitably put an increased strain on the August 2021 Commission Meeting 9 Agenda Item 6G Addendum 7/29/2021 criminal justice agencies already dealing with staff shortages. This action will allow current and new recruits the ability to move forward with their training and help prevent longer delays in academy completion. Any courses offered at CJSTC-certified training centers will still be required to abide by attendance and end of course exam requirements already in rule, as they can be adhered to via eLearning under the current rule language. If granted, this waiver will be temporary and will expire on February 18, 2022.

Rule 11B-21.005(3) F.A.C. Classroom Facility and Equipment Requirements. Comply with the classroom facility and equipment requirements set forth in the Training School Classroom Facility Requirements, form CJSTC-205, revised October 30, 2008, hereby incorporated by reference. The purpose of waiving this rule is to extend permission to allow recruits to sit for instruction at locations other than designated CJSTC approved classrooms.

One of the main issues with the current situation is the recommendation of limiting the congregation of people. Waiver of this rule is necessary to allow recruits to receive training at non-traditional locations that cannot be monitored individually by staff. Waiver of this rule will allow the training centers to deliver the curriculum to multiple recruits without violating the CDC recommendations. If granted, this waiver will also be temporary and will expire on February 18, 2022.

Purpose of Petition:

The purpose of the underlying statutes and rules are to ensure that all certified officers in the state are adequately trained. It is our belief that allowing eLearning and non-traditional classroom training methods will, during this situation, fulfill the requirements of these statutes and rules.

Type of Action Petitioner requests from the Commission:

I respectfully request the Commission approve and recognize: Waiver of rule 11B-35.0010(1) and 11B-21.005(3), F.A.C. so that CJSTC-certified training centers will be allowed to offer training in eLearning format, without classroom requirements, in all areas of the basic recruit curriculum during this state of emergency except for the following: • Vehicle Operations (if applicable) • Defensive Tactics • Firearms • First Aid • Proficiency portion of DUI Traffic Stops • Physical Fitness

Facts that Justify a Waiver or Variance:

CJSTC-certified academies recognize the importance of face-to-face learning, but understand that during this period of increased COVID cases, agencies need recruits trained even more so than before. With this understanding, many if not all academies have the ability and technology to deliver training via

August 2021 Commission Meeting 10 Agenda Item 6G Addendum 7/29/2021 eLearning techniques and will be able to stay in compliance with all other applicable statutes and rules until this situation has passed.

How Application of the rule creates a substantial hardship or violates principles of fairness:

Currently there are training centers that are prohibited from delivering in person instruction due to policy or CDC exposure guidelines. Criminal justice agencies are already dealing with staff shortages, and not having new recruits and Temporary Employment Authorization Officers (TEA’s) moving forward in the training process during this period will only exacerbate the shortages. Not allowing waiver of these rules will create a hardship on criminal justice agencies and training academies who will fall possibly months behind on recruit training.

Whether the waiver is permanent or temporary:

I respectfully request a temporary rule waiver of rule 11B-35.0010(1) and 11B-21.005(3), F.A.C. I request the waiver on behalf of all CJSTC-certified training centers and request said waivers be implemented immediately upon approval by the Commission and remain in effect until February 18, 2022.

General Information Agenda Item: Curriculum Updates Pursuant to Section 943.17, F.S.

ISSUE NUMBER 1 This agenda item is presented to the Commission in compliance with the statutory requirement for staff to advise the Commission of any revision to approved basic recruit, advanced, and specialized curricula.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Pursuant to Section 943.17, F.S., the Commission is responsible for the development and maintenance of basic recruit, advanced, and specialized training programs for Florida law enforcement, correctional, and correctional probation officers. Section 943.17(3), F.S., provides that the Program is responsible for the accuracy of curriculum content through the identification and revision of typographical or grammatical errors, incorrect statutory citations, or information which can be identified as inaccurate by superior references. The statute states that the Commission shall be advised of any revision, and a copy of revised curricula shall be provided to all criminal justice training schools. 2. Curriculum Alerts were created in an ongoing effort to ensure that Florida officers receive accurate and up-to- date information in curricula approved by the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission. Curriculum Alerts document revisions to approved curricula that are considered critical in nature. Revisions come through several sources including subject matter experts, instructors, officers, agencies, and superior references such as the Legislature and a court of jurisdiction. Curriculum alerts are distributed to training schools and posted on the FDLE website and the Automated Training Management System. 3. To further formalize and document revisions to the Commission’s approved curricula under Section 943.17(3), F.S., an issue is included in each quarterly meeting packet identifying the Commission courses that have been revised within the previous quarter. 4. The curriculum changes that are reflective of “legislative action” only, will be included in this agenda item. Impacted course curricula will be distributed to the training schools and certified instructors with other Commission-approved curriculum updates.

RECOMMENDATION(s): This agenda item does not require Commission action.

Unit 2: Crimes Against Society Lesson 2: Illicit Drugs and Vice Crimes Illicit Drugs, page 355

Section 893.13, F.S., outlines the elements of possession of a controlled substance. To establish probable cause for possession of a controlled substance, document that the suspect: • knew of the presence of the substance, and: • had possession of the substance, (actual or constructive). exercised control or ownership over the substance, and • knew the substance was an illicit controlled substance. Chapter 893, F.S., provides The following definitions to clarify the meaning of possession: • Possession means to have personal charge of or exercise the right of ownership, management, or control over the thing possessed. Possession may be actual or constructive. • Actual possession means the controlled substance is in the hand of or on the suspect, or in a container in the hand of or on the suspect, or so close as to be within ready reach and is under the control of the suspect. Mere proximity to a controlled substance is not sufficient to establish possession over the substance when it is not in a place over which the suspect has control. • Constructive possession means the controlled substance is in a place over which the suspect has control, or in which the suspect has concealed it. • Joint possession means two or more suspects may jointly possess an article, exercising control over it. In that case, each of those suspects is in possession of that article.

If a suspect has sole possession of a controlled substance, infer or assume the suspect had knowledge of its presence. If a suspect does not have exclusive possession of a controlled substance, you must not infer or assume the suspect had knowledge of its presence. Be aware that a person’s presence in a room or building where there are drugs or other contraband does not necessarily mean the person has committed a crime.

Unit 1: Preparing to Respond to Emergencies Lesson 1: Legal and Ethical Issues Duty to Act, page 43

According to Black’s Law Dictionary, duty to act is “a duty to take some action to prevent harm to another, and for the failure of which one may be liable, depending on the relationship of the parties and the circumstances.”

Duty to act refers to your contractual or legal obligation to provide care. If you are a correctional officer or correctional probation officer, you have an obligation to provide care to a patient who needs and consents to care only while you are on duty. If you are a law enforcement officer, you have a duty to act 24/7 within your jurisdictional boundaries. You also have the duty to render first aid following a use of force when you know, or it is evident, that the person detained or in custody is injured or requires medical attention. Provide first aid or seek additional medical assistance when it is reasonable, based on the totality of the circumstances, and without jeopardizing your health or safety. Refer to your agency policies and procedures, as jurisdictional boundaries can extend based on a mutual aid agreement. Breach of duty occurs when you either fail to act or act inappropriately.

Officer Response Options, page 262

Officers have a legal responsibility to prevent excessive use of force, or intervene during an excessive use of force encounter by other officers. Section 943.1735, F.S., defines excessive use of force as force that exceeds the degree of force permitted by law, policy, or the observing officer’s employing agency. To intervene, an on-duty officer must: • observe another officer engaging, or attempting to engage, in excessive use of force; • choose an intervention that is reasonable based on the totality of the circumstances; and • not jeopardize their own health or safety.

Unit 3: Use of Force Lesson 11: Vascular Neck Restraints

Vascular Neck Restraints, page 335

The vascular neck restraint compresses certain veins and arteries in the neck to cause a subject to lose consciousness briefly. The technique is not to be confused with a chokehold. Section 943.1735 F.S., defines a chokehold as the intentional and prolonged application of force to the throat, windpipe, or airway of another person that prevents the intake of air. The term does not include any hold involving contact with another person’s neck that is not intended to prevent the intake of air. While recruits are not trained to use chokeholds, employing agencies may authorize

After Care

Based on your training and agency policies, consider removing the probes if all signs of resistance are gone. Treat removed probes as biohazard sharps. You have the duty to render first aid after using a CEW when you know, or it is evident, that the person detained or in custody is injured or requires medical attention. Provide first aid or seek additional medical assistance when it is reasonable, based on the totality of the circumstances, and without jeopardizing your health or safety. If there is excessive bleeding, get immediate medical attention for the subject. Look for and treat any possible secondary injuries, and seek medical attention if required. Trained medical professionals should remove all deeply embedded probes or probes that penetrate sensitive tissue areas (for example, neck, face, groin, and breast). Monitor anyone in custody who has been subjected to CEW use, even if the subject is receiving medical care.

Unit 1: Interacting With Your Community Lesson 3: Serving Juveniles Interacting With Juveniles, page 230

A high degree of self-control, patience, flexibility, and understanding is required to work effectively with juveniles. You must be able to adapt to whatever situation arises with a juvenile, whether dealing with home environment, bullying, truancy, rebellion, or dangerous behavior. To build a positive relationship, provide information and support through empathy, comfort, and physical assistance, such as buying groceries for a juvenile who is trying to steal food. When interacting with juveniles, you may interact with their families as well. Look for ways to provide guidance to juveniles and their families; this will help increase your support within the community and build relationships and networks that will benefit the overall law enforcement effort. When dealing with juvenile offenders, you can take a variety of actions, depending on the seriousness of the problem and the evidence, if any, of misconduct. Your actions may involve issuing commands, informing the parents or guardians, conducting an investigation, arresting the juvenile, or releasing the juvenile. When interacting with a juvenile younger than 7 years of age, you may not arrest, charge, or adjudicate them delinquent unless the violation is a forcible felony or a third-degree felony of burglary or trespassing with burglary tools. You and other law enforcement officers can serve as role models and help steer potential juvenile offenders toward becoming law-abiding citizens.

Unit 2: Crimes Against Persons Lesson 1: Assault and Battery

Assault, page 286

Chapter 784, F.S., outlines the elements of both assault and battery. An assault involves verbal or non-verbal threats. For example, if someone walks up to you within striking distance and suddenly raises their fist in a manner that puts you in fear of being harmed, even if they do not say a word, they committed assault.

For assault, document that the suspect: • intentionally and unlawfully threatened, by either word or act, to do violence to a victim, • at the time, appeared to have the ability to carry out the threat, and • created in the mind of the victim a well-founded fear that violence was about to take place. A person who commits assault commits a misdemeanor of the second degree; however, if the assault is in furtherance of a riot or aggravated riot, they commit a misdemeanor of the first degree.

For aggravated assault, document that the suspect committed all the elements of assault and in addition, made the assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, or with an intent to commit a felony. A weapon is a deadly weapon if someone uses or threatens to use it in a way likely to cause death or great bodily harm. Even if a person points a gun at the victim with no intention of firing it, this is aggravated assault if the victim fears the person will shoot them.

Battery, page 287

For battery, document that the suspect: • actually and intentionally touched or struck the victim against their will, or • intentionally caused bodily harm to the victim. When a suspect has one prior conviction for battery, aggravated battery, or felony battery and commits any second or subsequent battery, the charge is reclassified from a misdemeanor battery charge to a felony battery charge. If a person commits a battery in furtherance of a riot or an aggravated riot, they commit a felony of the third degree.

Aggravated battery includes the element of intent or knowing that you will cause great bodily harm. If the victim is pregnant at the time of the battery, whether the suspect knew or should have known they were pregnant, this also upgrades a the battery charge to aggravated battery. A person who commits aggravated battery in furtherance of a riot or aggravated riot commits a felony ranked one level above the offense committed.

For aggravated battery, document that the suspect committed battery, and: • intentionally or knowingly caused great bodily harm, permanent disability, permanent disfigurement to the victim; or • used a deadly weapon.

Unit 2: Crimes Against Persons Lesson 2: Domestic Violence

Child to Parent Domestic Violence, page 292

Child domestic battery occurs when a child commits an act of violence against a parent, sibling, or other family member living in the home.

Child domestic battery is not intimate partner violence; it is predominantly a family dysfunction or a child-specific problem. Some children have mental health issues or experience ongoing family cycles of violence, neglect, physical or sexual abuse, substance abuse, or criminal involvement.

Curriculum Alert

As you interview a child and family members, determine if the violent behavior is an isolated event due to typical family dynamics or individual stress. Ask the parent if this is the first time something like this happened. If so, you might suggest family counseling or conflict resolution services.

Sometimes children defend against another family member. This may be a response to a physical threat by an abusive or domineering parent. Interview the children and parents separately to determine if this may be the case. Determine if child abuse or child sexual abuse occurred. Children who defend themselves or a parent against domestic violence display an exposure to criminal violence. This will require calling the Abuse Hotline at 1-800-96-ABUSE or 1-800-962- 2873, or reporting it online at the Department of Children and Families (DCF), as the family may benefit from DCF intervention.

It is more difficult to determine if a child acted out because the family is in chaos. In talking to the parents, you may find that the child intimidates, controls, and coerces them to give in to the child’s demands and that the child’s behavior has escalated from yelling and shoving to hitting, strangling, or other types of serious violence. This type of incident carries a high risk of harm to parents and family members.

Use your discretion on whether to arrest the child by evaluating the totality of the circumstances. If the child is younger than 7 years of age, you may not arrest, charge, or adjudicate them delinquent unless the violation is a forcible felony. After gathering essential information, determine if you will arrest the child, refer the family to appropriate interventions, refer the child to another family member’s home or a respite diversion program to “cool off,” or make an arrest based on the ongoing risk level of harm to others.

The circumstances surrounding each child domestic battery incident are unique and require an individualized response. Refer families to the Florida Network of Youth and Family Services for local and statewide resources for emergency shelter services, and individual and family counseling.

Responding to a Domestic Violence Incident, page 293

Follow the basic investigative sequence outlined in the first lesson of this chapter. Your initial focus will be officer safety and de-escalating the tensions between the people involved in the incident. When probable cause for arrest does not exist, you and the backup officer will explain the options available to each party separately, such as: • getting counseling • acting on information provided in the Notice of Legal Rights and Remedies brochure

Unit 2: Crimes Against Persons Lesson 3: Stalking Crimes

Cyberstalking, Page 298

Cyberstalk means to engage in a course of conduct to communicate, or cause the communication, directly or indirectly, words, images, or language by or using electronic mail or electronic communication, directed at, or pertaining to a specific person, causing substantial emotional distress to that person, and serving no legitimate purpose. Some juveniles may have a false perception that they are anonymous on the internet and use social media to abuse others. They may use it to respond to or carry on a disagreement, which can escalate to bullying and cyberstalking.

Cyberintimidation, page 298

Cyberintimidation occurs when a person electronically publishes, disseminates, posts, or discloses someone’s personal identification information to an internet site or forum with the intent to: • incite violence or commit a crime against the person, or • threaten or harass the person, placing such a person in reasonable fear of bodily harm. Personal identifying information can be a person’s name, date of birth, home or email address, phone number, or government-issued ID number. A person who independently publishes the information or publishes the information to a third party with the intent that the third party will use the information to commit cyberintimidation, commits a first-degree misdemeanor.

It is also unlawful for any person to send, post, or transmit, or get someone else to, a written or electronic record that makes a threat to kill or do bodily harm to another person, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism.

Local law enforcement may broadcast an alert if the missing adult’s disappearance indicates a credible threat of immediate danger or serious bodily harm to themselves and they cannot be returned to safety without law enforcement intervention.

Law enforcement must notify the media in the jurisdiction where the missing adult is believed to or may be located and may broadcast the alert on lottery terminals. Your agency may also open a case with the Missing and Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse and, if a vehicle is involved, coordinate with the DOT and the DHSMV to activate the dynamic messaging signs.

Unit 1: Property Crimes Lesson 1: Theft

Theft, pages 352–353

Theft involves the suspect: • knowingly and unlawfully obtaining or using, or trying to obtain or to use the property of the victim, • doing it intentionally to deprive the victim of their right to it or any benefit from it, and • taking the property for their own use or anyone not entitled to it.

Do not confuse robbery with theft or burglary, which are property crimes.

Robbery is a crime against a person, because it involves some sort of taking directly from another individual. By contrast, theft (and burglary) are property crimes, and lack this direct person-to-person element.

Property can be anything of value and includes real property, tangible or intangible, personal property, and services. Services are anything of value that results from someone’s physical or mental labor or skill. This includes: • repairs or improvements to property • professional services • private, public, or government communication, transportation, power, water, or sanitation services

• lodging accommodations • admissions to places of exhibition or entertainment Even though the victim of a theft may not be present at the time of the incident, they can provide information helpful to the investigation, such as a description of the stolen property, including unique characteristics or serial numbers. The victim can also tell you the value of the item and the last time and place they saw it. They may know who discovered that the item was missing and if there were any witnesses to the theft.

If the value of property stolen during a theft is $100 or more, but less than $750, the offense is the misdemeanor of petit theft; if the person who commits petit theft has two or more convictions for any theft, the crime becomes a third-degree felony.

Grand theft involves the theft of an item with a value of $750 or more, the theft of an item specified by statute regardless of its value, or the theft of an item with of a value of $100 or more from a dwelling or from the enclosed area of land surrounding a dwelling. Grand theft can be a felony of first, second, or third degree.

Theft also includes identity theft and fraud, not just theft of property, funds, or assets.

Florida law reclassifies theft to a higher degree if the victim is a person 65 or older, if the theft occurred during or under conditions arising from a riot or an aggravated riot, or occurred in a county that is under a state of emergency.

A person commits a riot if they willfully participate in a violent public disturbance involving an assembly of three or more persons who act with a common intent to assist each other in violent and disorderly conduct. This conduct can cause injury to another person, damage to property, or imminent danger of both.

Chapter 509, F.S., outlines the elements of the theft of obtaining food, lodging, or other accommodations with the intent to defraud. This occurs when a person orders and eats a meal in a restaurant or occupies a room in a public lodging establishment, and then refuses to pay. When a business operator and an officer follow the terms of this statute, the court cannot hold either criminally or civilly liable for false arrest, false imprisonment, or unlawful detention.

Unit 1: Property Crimes Lesson 2: Criminal Mischief, Trespassing, and Burglary

Criminal Mischief, pages 357–358

Criminal mischief is the willful and malicious destruction of property belonging to another person. As outlined in chapter 806, F.S., it can include injury or damage to property, such as graffiti or other acts of vandalism.

For criminal mischief, document that: • the suspect injured or damaged real or personal property, • the property belonged to the complainant, and • the injury or damage was willful and malicious. Photograph the damage for your report. Conduct a neighborhood canvass to gather information about the suspects. Based on your agency policies and whether there is a suspect, conduct a follow-up investigation. Provide the victim with the appropriate victim brochures and document this in your report.

The Florida Statutes enhance the penalties for criminal mischief based upon several factors, including the value of the property. • Criminal mischief is a second-degree misdemeanor if the property damage is less than $200. • It is a first-degree misdemeanor if the damage is greater than $200 but less than $1,000. • If the value of property damaged totals $1,000 or more, the crime is a third-degree felony. • If the suspect has one or more prior convictions for criminal mischief, a subsequent offense is a felony, regardless of the amount of damage. • Any person who willfully and maliciously damages any place of worship or religious article is guilty of a third-degree felony if the damage is over $200. • Any person who destroys or demolishes a memorial or historic property is guilty of a second-degree felony.

Burglary, pages 359–360

Burglary is the unlawful entry into any structure with the intent to commit a crime inside. Chapter 810, F.S., outlines the elements of burglary and classifies burglaries according to the type of location entered, such as a dwelling, structure, or conveyance. Penalties are more severe for a dwelling than a structure or conveyance. For burglary, document that the suspect did at least two of the following: • entered a structure or conveyance owned by or in the possession of the complainant • at the time of entering the structure or conveyance, had the intent to commit an offense other than burglary or trespass in that structure or conveyance • was not licensed or invited to enter the structure or conveyance, and the premises were not open to the public at the time of the entering Trespassing involves being somewhere you do not own without the owner’s permission. Burglary also involves being somewhere you do not own without the owner’s permission, but with the intention to commit another crime, such as theft. Recall that robbery involves taking property from someone by force or fear. People will often tell you that they have been robbed when they were not at home; however, they have been burglarized.

Generally, any damage caused as the result of an unlawful entry, such as kicking in a door or breaking a window, is not criminal mischief, as that is a lesser offense. However, when the suspect clearly and intentionally vandalizes the home during a burglary, an additional charge of criminal mischief can apply.

The Florida Statutes enhance the penalties for burglary when: • the suspect commits assault or battery during a burglary • the suspect is armed • the suspect uses a vehicle to cause damage to the property • the suspect causes more than $1,000 of damage to the property • the dwelling, structure, or conveyance was occupied at the time of the burglary • the burglary occurred during or under conditions arising from a riot or an aggravated riot, or occurred in a county that is under a state of emergency

Unit 2: Crimes Against Society Lesson 1: Loitering or Prowling, Disorderly Behavior, Rioting

Breach of the Peace, Disorderly Conduct, pages 369–370

Breach of the peace or disorderly conduct is not a catchall statute; however, it does include brawling, fighting, or an affray. An affray occurs when someone consents to fight with another person to terrorize other people in a public place. Urinating in public is also disorderly conduct, not an exposure of sexual organs. To meet the conditions of breach of the peace or disorderly conduct according to chapter 877, F.S., the person’s actions must endanger the safety of another person or property and occur in a public place or on public transportation, causing a public disturbance. In this context, a public place means somewhere the public has a right to be and to go, such as a grocery store or hospital.

For the offense of breach of the peace or disorderly conduct, document that the suspect’s action: • corrupts public morals, • outrages public sense of decency, • affects the peace and quiet of people who may witness it, or • is a brawl or a fight. A person who simply curses at others or officers may not be arrested for disorderly conduct unless other factors are present that would threaten the safety of an officer or others. Unless a person’s words actually incite a reaction from onlookers that might create a danger to others, such as shouting “fire” in a crowded theater, freedom of speech protects the person from arrest. When you are on duty, you cannot be a victim of breach of the peace.

Mob Intimidation and Rioting, page 371

When determining if someone is committing mob intimidation according to chapter 784, F.S., the following conditions need to be present: • two or more other persons assembled with a common intent • someone uses force, or threatens to use imminent force o to compel or induce, or attempt to compel or induce another person . to do or refrain from doing any act, or . to assume, abandon, or maintain a viewpoint against their will. Someone who commits mob intimidation commits a misdemeanor of the first degree.

The chief judge of each judicial circuit in Florida may establish a Military Veterans and Service Members Court Program for that circuit. A court with jurisdiction over criminal cases creates and administers a veteran’s treatment court program. In this program, the court can sentence veterans and service members to individualized treatment if they are convicted of a crime and suffer from a military service-related illness or injury. Illnesses or injuries can include mental illness, traumatic brain injury, substance abuse use disorder, or psychological problems, or military sexual trauma. The judge reviews an offender’s qualifications for this program based on the following: The state attorney, in consultation with the court, will consider the following when determining an offender’s participation in the program: • criminal history and if the offender has previously participated in a veterans treatment court or similar program • military service the nature and circumstances of the offense • special characteristics or circumstances of the offender or victim • recommendations of the state attorney and victim, if any recommendations of the victim and the law enforcement agency involved in the arrest or investigation • substance abuse treatment needs if treatment needs exceed the treatment resources available to the program

Chapter 3‒Patrol and Professional Communication Unit 3: Interview Skills Lesson 3: The Interview Process

People on the Scene, page 69 Make sure that you take complete and careful notes for each interviewee. Be patient and professional at all times. Remember to keep complainants, victims, and witnesses separated in a criminal investigation. You are responsible for creating an atmosphere that will encourage participation by the interviewee. Isolating an interviewee prevents outside influences, and privacy helps build rapport and gain trust. Choose a safe location away from other interviewees in order to discourage the discussion or rehearsal of their accounts. Multiple witnesses who have viewed or experienced the same event never recall the same details. You can schedule follow-up interviews with people if they are not able to give an accurate account of what happened. Separating family members during a crisis is a difficult decision. Use your best judgment in assessing whether separation is necessary. In a child abuse incident, for example, separation of certain family members from each other may be unavoidable or may not be appropriate. Interviewing a victim of sexual battery requires particular sensitivity. Do so privately, with a victim advocate if requested by the victim. Express a caring attitude to the victim, letting them know you are there to help. Start the interview by saying, “I am sorry this happened to you. It is good that you are reporting this. Your health and safety are my priority.” The victim may display physiological and behavioral signs that may be mistaken for indicators of deception. A traumatic event can distort the victim’s perception of time and distance. Initially, the victim may not be able to answer certain questions accurately or in great detail. Be patient and ask questions carefully. Remember that the victim may be overwhelmed and afraid and is trying to overcome a terrible experience. Treat them with dignity and compassion. The following steps may be helpful to draw out information from the victim: 1. Acknowledge the victim’s emotional trauma or pain. This shows concern and gives the victim a sense of safety during the interview process. Ask the victim what they are able to remember. 2. Ask the victim what they were thinking or how they processed what was happening at particular points during the experience. This will help you to understand the victim’s actions and behaviors throughout the event. This will also reduce or eliminate your instinct to ask the victim why they did not flee, fight back, or take some other action to stop the assault. It is important not to make the victim feel judged. Never ask why.

3. Ask the victim to remember things such as sights, sounds, smells, and feelings before, during, and after the incident. This allows the victim to focus on one small amount of sensory information at a time, which will help them remember the incident better. 4. Ask the victim how the incident affected them physically and emotionally. This will allow you to place the victim’s words in context with what was happening during the incident. 5. Ask the victim what the most difficult part of the experience was for them. This will help them recall the memories that they may have repressed. This memory may be the key piece of information that you will gather during the interview. Remember to be patient and sensitive while asking these types of questions. 6. Ask the victim if there is a specific detail about the event that they cannot forget. This will help the victim focus on a critical detail of the incident, which might help you fill in some of the informational gaps to the victim’s statement. 7. Ask only specific interview questions of who, what, when, where, and how after you have asked the preceding questions. This will give the victim time to process what happened and to provide more information. Before you close the interview, ask the victim any clarifying questions regarding who, what, when, where, and how. Finalize the interview by asking, “Is there anything I have not asked you or that stands out about the experience?” When there are injured people at the scene, you might have to provide first aid. If the victim does not require immediate first aid, ask direct, fundamental questions about how the victim sustained the injury. Record detailed observations of the injuries in your field notes, including photographs of the injuries as part of your report. Verify if the information the victim provides appears to be consistent with the injuries and evidence at the scene. Note specific information regarding the location, size, and type of injury. Tell the victim to notify you for further documentation and if the injuries or bruising intensify. If an interviewee suffers from a serious injury and requires medical assistance, make a note to interview this person later when they have recovered.

Chapter 4‒Interactions in a Diverse Community Unit 1: Communicating in a Diverse Society Lesson 1: Disability Awareness and Protection

Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation of a Person Who Is Elderly or Disabled, page 79 People with disabilities or of an advanced age tend to be more dependent on others, due to their limitations and needs. This increases their vulnerability to neglect and certain types of crime, such as fraud or exploitation. Given the dependent relationship with their caregivers or others who may victimize them, people in these positions may be reluctant to report crimes committed against them. Abuse

To establish probable cause for abuse, document that the victim was elderly or disabled and the suspect knowingly or willfully: • inflicted physical or psychological injury upon the victim, • committed an intentional act that could reasonably be expected to result in physical or psychological injury to the victim, or • actively encouraged another person to commit an act that resulted in or could reasonably have been expected to result in physical or psychological injury to the victim, or • isolated or restricted the victim from family members for a length of time which could reasonably be expected to result in physical or psychological injury to the victim, or with the intent to promote, facilitate, conceal, or disguise some form of criminal activity involving the victim or their property.

Chapter 4‒Interactions in a Diverse Community Unit 1: Communicating in a Diverse Society Lesson 5: Juveniles

Crimes Committed by Children Juvenile Delinquent Behavior, pages 88–89

Juveniles like to push the boundaries of the rules, both at home and in public, and may show a high degree of irresponsibility, little respect for authority, and unpredictable behavior patterns. They may also be manipulative and defiant when interacting with anyone, including law enforcement. Many delinquent juveniles engage in behaviors such as bullying, violence, aggression, and petty crimes, and have a higher incidence of drug or alcohol involvement. Each situation involving a juvenile is unique. Some situations may require more patience and understanding, while others may require a firmer, more direct approach. A high degree of self- control, patience, flexibility, and understanding is required to work effectively with youthful offenders. You must be able to adapt to whatever situation arises with a juvenile, such as truancy, rebellion, or dangerous behavior. Note that a child younger than 7 may not be arrested, charged, or adjudicated delinquent for a delinquent act or violation of law committed before 7 years of age, unless the violation is a forcible felony.
