BACKGROUND:

On February 28, 2020, the Florida Department of Health issued Administrative Complaint 2019-11689 against the Escambia County Public Safety Department related to allegations that in 2018, recertification cards were issued to instructors who did not meet requirements of recertification. Further, the complaint alleges the Public Safety Department allowed the instructors to teach courses without verifying the validity of the instructor certifications. Fines could be up to $1,000.00 per violation per day. A settlement resolves this issue with regards to the agency; investigations against any individuals would continue.
