BUREAU OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAMS

The Bureau of Criminal Justice Programs provides statewide public education and training programs for law enforcement personnel, school resource officers, victim advocates and other interested persons on crime prevention initiatives, school-based officer programs, victim advocacy and related criminal justice programs. The Florida Crime Prevention Training Institute (FCPTI) was established (Section 16.54, F.S.) as part of the “HELP STOP CRIME” program and is administered by the Bureau of Criminal Justice Programs. In addition, the bureau administers the Crime Stoppers and Urban League grant programs, the annual National Conference on Preventing Crime, the Florida Council on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys, the Law Enforcement Death Benefits program, the Safe Neighborhoods Act, the Convenience Business Security Act, and the Florida Human Trafficking Summit. Our website, www.fcpti.com allows us to market FCPTI nationally and allows for on-line course registrations. Currently, approximately 99% of all registrations are received from on line registration, which reduced the costs of paper and mailings.

The goals and objectives of FCPTI are:

• Develop and maintain a standardized, comprehensive crime prevention, victim services, and school resource officers training curriculum throughout the state.

• Keep victims, practitioners in the field of crime prevention, and school resource officers up to date on new prevention methods, ideas, and problems in crime prevention.

• Assist in making crime prevention an integral part of law enforcement and the community.

• Continually develop and implement new and innovative training programs.

Florida Crime Prevention Training Institute (FCPTI)

FCPTI courses are designed to provide comprehensive crime prevention training to Florida’s law enforcement community, school resource officers, victim advocates, citizenry and industry to enable them to control crime by denying criminal opportunity and behavior. Authorized in Section 16.54, F.S., the FCPTI Revolving Trust Fund is self-sustaining and is funded by tuition payments paid by training program participants. Training schedules may be accessed at www.fcpti.com.

Numerous practitioner designation programs are offered to include: Crime Prevention, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, Elderly Crime, School Resource Officer (SRO), and Victim Services. In addition, this office provides a certification to law enforcement officers in Convenience Store Security. The Attorney General’s Office is the primary source of training for crime prevention, victim services, elderly issues, and school resource officers (SRO) statewide and is a national leader in these fields. Individuals trained by FCPTI play a vital role through community education in reducing crime and victimization statewide. Curriculum development is coordinated with the respective organizational entities to which they relate (i.e., Florida Association of

5

School Resource Officers, Florida Crime Prevention Association, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and Florida Department of Education). This year’s activities included:

Crime Prevention Practitioner Designation Training

The crime prevention practitioner designation (FCPP) is awarded to those individuals who successfully complete a series of three comprehensive crime prevention courses offered through FCPTI. The curriculum includes instruction in basic crime prevention, commercial crime prevention, and residential crime prevention. To maintain the designation, practitioners are required to attend refresher courses every three years. There are approximately 4600 crime prevention practitioners throughout the state. Over 25 percent of the state’s law enforcement officers have received crime prevention training. Additionally, crime prevention training is evolving to respond to current trends and conditions. This year’s activities included:

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Practitioner Designation Training

In 2004, the designation of Florida Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Practitioner (FCP) was made available to individuals who successfully completed sixty-four hours of comprehensive CPTED courses offered through FCPTI. Designed for crime prevention and community oriented policing officers, planners and architects, the designation provides officers and civilians with the skills necessary to deliver comprehensive CPTED programs to Florida’s residential and commercial industry, as well as local government.

• 215 designations awarded

Elderly Services Practitioner Designation Training

In 1986, the Attorney General’s Office began training on elder issues with a series of one-day workshops across the state on “Fraud Against the Elderly.” This led to the design of a five-day “Crimes Against the Elderly” course that was eventually adopted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) as an “Advanced” course. With a growing senior population, there was an increase in elderly criminal victimization such as financial exploitation, abuse and neglect. To meet the demand for further training and a designation, the Attorney General’s Office expanded training for law enforcement and those professionals who interact with this population on a daily basis. These courses provide participants with

To earn the Florida Elder Crime Practitioner Designation (FECP), a participant must successfully complete eighty-eight hours of instruction offered through FCPTI within a period of three consecutive years. The requirement includes the forty-hour Crimes Against the Elderly course and two twenty-four-hour courses.

• Two elderly classes were held with 39 attendees.

School Resource Officer Practitioner Designation Training

The objective of the School Resource Officer (SRO) training is to enhance the skills of school-based professionals who deal with juvenile issues on a daily basis. The classes are designed for SROs, school administrators and staff, and other professionals who work with students in campus settings. The SRO curriculum includes an advanced training (i.e., salary incentive) course that has been approved by the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission. Officers have the opportunity to earn the SRO practitioner designation with completion of the basic SRO course and an additional 90 hours of FCPTI juvenile-related courses. 344 officers have obtained the designation since its inception in 1988. In addition, a new “SRO Specialist” program was developed for those SROs that cannot attend the required hours for a designation. This year’s SRO training activities included:

Victim Services Practitioner Designation Training

Victim training programs are designed for novice and veteran victim advocates and allied professionals to enhance crisis intervention skills and increase awareness of available services and resources. The curriculum consists of victim services practitioner designation classes, advanced advocate training, and issue briefings. The designation program (VSPD) is a five-day course designed to improve the knowledge, skills, and abilities of service providers. This designation is valid for four years and may be renewed by providing evidence of 24 hours of non-agency victim related training during the four-year period, including advanced advocate training. Approximately 6500 designations have been awarded since inception of the program in 1995. Advanced advocate training is designed to enhance the skills and abilities of experienced victim service providers. Issue briefings focus on current issues from a local perspective.

Convenience Business Security

Enacted by the 1990 Florida Legislature, The Convenience Business Security Act (§812.171, F.S.) governs security standards for convenience businesses. The Office of the Attorney General is required by statute to review and approve the training curriculum used by convenience businesses for training their employees. Since the inception of the program, FCPTI has trained and certified approximately 400 law enforcement officers who make periodic inspections of the convenience businesses in their geographical areas. Violations are reported to and investigated by this office. Continued noncompliance may result in a fine of up to $5,000 or an injunction for closure of the business. The Convenience Business Security program has been unfunded since 1992 (See §812.1725-§812.176, F.S.). Bureau staff continued to handle the administrative responsibilities of the Act.

Highlights:

• An anonymous tip to Central Florida Crimeline led to an investigation of a University of Central Florida student for illegal possession of a fully automatic firearm. The investigation identified the suspect and lead to the recovery of an AR-15, with a bump fire stock. This allowed the firearm to shoot 19 rounds with a single pull of the trigger. The firearm was recovered in the suspect’s vehicle on campus and the student was charged with Possession of Machine Gun and Import/Sell/Distribute/Possess Bump Fire Stock.

• Following a 3-month undercover drug investigation based on a tip received by Crime Stoppers of Marion County, a subject was arrested for Possession with the Intent to Distribute, Sell, or Manufacture Cocaine; Possession of a Controlled Substance without a Prescription (Fentanyl); Possession and Use of Drug Paraphernalia; and Driving While License Suspended.

• A tip regarding a suspect wanted for attempted murder in Highlands County was received by Heartland Crime Stoppers, Inc. The suspect, who had fled to North Carolina, was apprehended by the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with other law enforcement agencies, as a direct result of the tip. Additionally, the suspect was connected to numerous crimes in North Carolina.

• On April 6, 2019, two tips were submitted to Central Ohio Crime Stoppers. They both stated that a suspect in an Aggravated Vehicular Homicide was a new tenant in an apartment in Milton, Florida (Santa Rosa County). They stated the suspect was driving a gold Chevy Suburban that had duct tape all over with noticeable damage. The vehicle had Ohio license plates and the suspect had changed their appearance after moving in and was using a different name. After a brief investigation, Milton Police Department arrested the suspect for warrants out of Franklin County, Ohio for two counts of Aggravated Vehicular Homicide, Operating Motor Vehicle While Impaired and other traffic charges. The suspect was accused of hitting and killing a woman, leaving the scene, had a blood alcohol level of .138 and had only been out of prison for a couple of months from their last DUI conviction. The suspect was under a five-year suspension of their license at the time of the crash. The joint effort between Central Ohio Crime Stoppers, Santa Rosa County Crime Stoppers, Inc. and law enforcement ensured the suspect was located, properly identified, arrested, extradited and faces prosecution. Central Ohio Crime Stoppers and Santa Rosa Crime Stoppers also worked extensively to ensure payment to the two brave tipsters who sent the information and ultimately were responsible for the arrest.

A Notice of Rights form is included with each denial notice and may act as a petition. The claimant may submit additional evidence with the petition proving eligibility, and based on this new information, the claim may be reconsidered. When a satisfactory petition is received, it is reviewed to determine whether material facts are at issue which would require the evidence to be weighed by an impartial hearing officer in an evidentiary hearing.

The statutory basis for this requirement is §960.16, F.S. This year’s subrogation activities included:

• 47 cases settled

• $151,682 recovered
