The 16-member commission is composed of ranking and nonranking law enforcement and corrections personnel, the attorney general, the commissioner of education, and a lay representative. Steps in the decertification process consist of (1) involuntary termination of the employee under prejudicial circumstances; (2) task force review to determine appropriateness of decertification recommendation to the commission; (3) an informal conference that allows the officer to present evidence prior to the report going to the full commission for hearing; (4) commission hearing to determine if probable cause exists to decertify; and (5) default, consent agreement, and hearings. If disputes over material facts in a case occur, the officer may request a formal hearing; and an officer against whom an administrative complaint has been issued also has the option of an informal hearing. Thus far, officers subjected to decertification have come from all ranks. Selection standards for law enforcement and correctional officers mandated in Florida law are presented along with statutes that govern the decertification process and grounds for decertification.
