Standard # ___2.06M__________

New Standard Revision X Deletion

Proposal (State the standard exactly as you believe it should appear in the manual). 2.06M A written directive prohibits bias-based profiling biased policing in accordance with Florida Statutes and includes the following provisions: I. Bullets A. Training agency enforcement personnel in bias based profiling issues fair

and impartial policing including legal aspects; in accordance with Florida Statutes;

B. Corrective measures if bias based profiling biased policing occurs; C. Definitions to include bias based profiling and reasonable suspicion of

biased policing; D. Community education and awareness efforts; E. A documented annual administrative review of traffic stop procedures

related to bias-based profiling fair and impartial policing; and F. Handling of complaints from the public.

II. Proofs of Compliance • Written directive addressing elements of the standard (Qty Initial: 1) (Qty

Reaccred: 1) • Training documentation in accordance with CJSTC guidelines Florida Statutes. (Qty

Initial: 1) (Qty Reaccred: 1 each year) • Documentation of corrective measures taken. (Qty Initial: 1) (Qty Reaccred: 1) • Sample of community education and awareness efforts. (Qty Initial: 1) (Qty

Reaccred: 1) • Annual administrative review documentation. (Qty Initial: 1) (Qty Reaccred: 1 each

year) III. Required References Florida Statutes 30.15 or 166.0493; 943.1716 and 943.1758

IV. Assessor Guidelines

V. Accreditation Manager Notes

Rationale for revision. Dr. Lorie Fridell, Executive Director of Fair and Impartial Policing, is an expert in the area of fair and impartial policing and biased policing. She contributed to the IACP model policy and the recent revisions to the FACP model policy for biased policing, which is modeled after the IACP model policy. The FACP model policy was adopted in August 2018. Based on FSS 166.0493 (required reference for this standard), agencies should be using the FACP model policy as a guide for their policy. Based on the revised FACP model policy and in consultation with Dr. Fridell, there appears to be necessary terminology updates to this standard as follows:

1) The term “Biased-based Profiling” is no longer the preferred terminology. Acceptable alternatives include “Un-biased policing”, “biased policing”, “fair and impartial policing”, and “bias-free policing”. CALEA has also changed titles from ‘Biased-based Profiling’ to ‘Biased Policing’.

2) The definition for “Reasonable Suspicion” is not needed. Proposed by: _Lt Todd Johnson_____ Date submitted __1/24/19________________________ Supervisor Approval_______________________________

All proposed revisions will be submitted to the Standards Review and Interpretations Committee via CFA for consideration.

Standard # ___Glossary (related to 2.06M)__________


Proposal (State the standard exactly as you believe it should appear in the manual). BIASED-BASED PROFILING The selection of an individual based solely on a trait common to a group for enforcement action. This includes, but is not limited to: race, ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, economic status, age, cultural group, or any other identifiable group. BASED POLICING The inappropriate consideration of specified characteristics while enforcing the law or providing police services. Specified characteristics includes, but is not limited to, race, ethnic background, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status, age, disability, political status, or any other legally protected characteristics.

Rationale for revision. Dr. Lorie Fridell, Executive Director of Fair and Impartial Policing, is an expert in the area of fair and impartial policing and biased policing. She contributed to the IACP model policy and the recent revision completed to the FACP model policy for biased policing, which is modeled after the IACP model policy. The FACP model policy was adopted in August 2018. Based on FSS 166.0493 (required reference for 2.06M), agencies should be using the FACP model policy as a guide for their policy. Based on the revised FACP model policy and in consultation with Dr. Fridell, there appears to be necessary updates to the current definition of ‘biased-based profiling’. CALEA has also changed titles from ‘Biased-based Profiling’ to ‘Biased Policing’. The language for the proposed revision is taken from the FACP model policy.

Standard # _4.03M____

New Standard Revision XX Deletion

Proposal (State the standard exactly as you believe it should appear in the manual). 4.03M A written directive requires successful completion of the Florida Basic Recruit Training Program, or its equivalent, and the State Officer Certification Exam prior to assignment in any capacity in which a sworn member is allowed to carry a firearm or is in any position to make an arrest. I. Bullets II. Proofs of Compliance • Written directive addressing elements of the standard (Qty Initial: 1) (Qty Reaccred: 1) • Documentation showing members’ completion of minimum state certification program

V. Accreditation Manager Notes

Rationale for revision. An agency cannot certify an officer with the CJSTC without completion of the academy and successfully passing the certification exam. Without being certified, a member cannot be sworn, carry a firearm or make an arrest.

Bullets A. Discharges a firearm, for other than training or recreational purposes; B. Applies force through the use of lethal or less-lethal weapons; C. Applies weaponless

physical force at a level as defined by the agency. II. Proofs of Compliance • Written directive addressing elements of the standard (Qty Initial: 1) (Qty Reaccred: 1) • Completed agency “use of force” reports, e.g., unintentional discharge report, firearm use

reports, shooting incident report, restraint report, etc. (Qty Initial: 1 each bullet) (Qty Reaccred: 1 each bullet)

• Documented Rreview verification with level of authority noted. (Qty Initial: 1) (Qty Reaccred: 1 each bullet)

Standard # _10.10M___


Proposal (State the standard exactly as you believe it should appear in the manual). 10.10M A written directive requires members authorized to carry weapons receive in-service training which includes: I. Bullets A. Annual demonstration of proficiency with firearms authorized to carry; B. Annual use of force training; C. Annual Dart-Firing Stun Gun training in accordance with Florida Statute; and D. Biennial less-lethal weapon training (for weapons other than the Dart-Firing Stun Gun). E. Provisions to resume training within one quarter (three months) of any scheduled

proficiency or training when a declaration of emergency or other serious, documented exigent circumstances make it impractical to complete as scheduled.

II. Proofs of Compliance • Written directive addressing elements of the standard. (Qty Initial: 1) (Qty Reaccred: 1) • Proof of training for each element of the standard. (Qty Initial: 3) (Qty Reaccred: 1 each

year) • Proof of emergency/serious exigent circumstances impacting compliance, if applicable. • Interviews III. Required References CJSTC Rule 11B-27.00212 Florida Statute 943.1717 IV. Assessor Guidelines View lesson plans for each training topic identified in the standard (not necessary to be in the file); Remember to verify training for civilian members carrying weapons, e.g., batons, OC spray, etc. The emergency/serious exigent circumstances must significantly impact the agency, its service area, or its members, either directly or by mutual aid response, and not involve routine administrative issues, such as personnel or facility scheduling.

V. Accreditation Manager Notes Proofs will show compliance for a variety of ranks.

Rationale for revision. As seen in recent years, significant damage has occurred to facilities, infrastructure and communities caused by weather-related or other emergencies, with recovery and resumption of normal operations taking months in some cases. These require deployment of all personnel on extended shifts for the impacted agency and for agencies that respond under mutual aid agreements to assist in recovery efforts. As a result, it may be impractical, if not impossible, to meet the standards for individual members or an agency as a whole. Non-compliance with strict standards should not be the result for agencies or their members suffering from or responding to these significant events.

Standard # ___10.10M__________


Proposal (State the standard exactly as you believe it should appear in the manual). 10.10M A written directive requires members authorized to carry weapons receive in-service training which includes: I. Bullets A. Annual demonstration of proficiency with firearms authorized to carry; B. Annual use of force training; C. Annual Dart-Firing Stun Gun training in accordance with Florida Statute; and D. Biennial less-lethal weapon training (for weapons other than the Dart-Firing Stun Gun). II. Proofs of Compliance • Written directive addressing elements of the standard. (Qty Initial: 1) (Qty Reaccred: 1) • Proof of training for each element of the standard. (Qty Initial: 3) (Qty Reaccred: 1 each year) • Interviews III. Required References CJSTC Rule 11B-27.00212 Florida Statute 943.1717 IV. Assessor Guidelines View lesson plans for each training topic identified in the standard (not necessary to be in the file); Remember to verify training for civilian members carrying weapons, e.g., batons, OC spray, etc. For this standard Bullet A: Annual shall be defined as occurring once per calendar year. V. Accreditation Manager Notes

Proofs will show compliance for a variety of ranks.

Rationale for revision. Bullet A: Annual demonstration of proficiency with firearms authorized to carry; Recommendation: We are proposing for Bullet A: Annual is defined as occurring once per calendar year. Requiring a demonstration of proficiency within 12 months of last demonstration, places an undue hardship on an agency’s ability to operate. Transfers, promotions, staff assignment selections, etc. make it difficult to keep an officer on the same schedule throughout his/her entire career. Our proposed changes are still double the State’s requirements to maintain LEO certification.

Standard # 15.06M____________


Proposal (State the standard exactly as you believe it should appear in the manual). 15.06M A written directive establishes procedures for assuring compliance with constitutional requirements during criminal investigations to include interviews, interrogations, and access to counsel. I. Bullets II. Proofs of Compliance • Written directive addressing elements of the standard. (Qty Initial: 1) (Qty Reaccred: 1) • Documentation or observation of acknowledgement. (Qty Initial: 3) (Qty Reaccred: 1

each year) III. Required References IV. Assessor Guidelines If the agency uses digital technology (Interview Video Recordings, Body Cams, In-Car Video) to document acknowledgment of compliance with constitutional requirements, observation of such acknowledgment will satisfy the standard. V. Accreditation Manager Notes Forms Proofs may include signed Rights Card, or other forms of acknowledgement used by the agency.

Rationale for revision. With the rapid advancements of technology, agencies are minimizing the amount of physical paperwork necessary for their staff members to effectively perform their duties. Technology is allowing agencies to capture the actual acknowledgement of constitutional requirements on recorded video without the need for an officer to complete a form. Often times, the video recordings of such acknowledgement is more reliable and credible in a court of law than a signed form.

Exceptions to interviewing known complainants, witnesses, and subjects may include issues such as the complainant(s), witness(es), or subject(s) of the investigation cannot be located, refused to

provide an interview, or are otherwise unavailable or incapacitated. Exceptions to conducting interviews under oath and recording or documenting interviews may include issues such as the interviewee refused to be placed under oath or refused to have their interview recorded.
