Subject:
US Citizenship to Attend a Basic Recruit Training Course
Dear Mr. Jeffrey XXX
This is in response to your question regarding any requirement by the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission to be a United States Citizen in order to attend a basic recruit training program. While Chapter 943.13(2), Florida Statutes, mandates that a person be a US Citizen prior to employment or appointment as a criminal justice officer, this mandate does not extend to participation in a Commission-approved basic recruit training program. The Commission does not have any rules or statutes prohibiting a non-US Citizen from participating in a basic recruit training program.
If you have any further questions, please contact Terry Baker, Training and Research Manager in the Bureau of Standards, at telephone number (850) 410-8688.

I have already sent this letter to 4 local schools by me. Maby this will help them understand and stop saying it's an FDLE rule to be a US Citizen to attend their Police academy's. This discrimination has been going on for a while(I doubt I am the first LPR who wanted to attend a Police academy in Florida). If this doesn't wise these schools up, a lawsuit sure will. These schools are public schools, NOT private. FDLE oversees these Police academys. I even had one as- from one school tell me that my GC wouldn't help me at his school.

If the school still does not comply, I will post my pending lawsuit if I need to file one.

If I recall correctly, I think you're wasting your time if you seek to go on a crusade where the costs of winning your legal battle outweigh any benefits you receive. If all you're doing is spending your own time and very little money, then good luck.

Principles are expensive. Make sure you pick valuable ones.

Rights are important too! The problem is people like you let them get away with this stuff, so that's why they keep doing it. Now the school has a choice to make, stop breaking the law or pay for it..

I even saw one school who required "US Citizenship" to enter it's Certified Nursing Assistant," (CNA) class.

THEREALCANADIAN if you continue to ignore this kind on ignorance it will get worse. Next thing you know you will need to be a US Citizen to work an Mcdonalds.

I am not going on a "Civil Rights Rampage" here, but comon. Some of this stuff in nuts!
