BSO’s First DROP Participants Retire On July 1, 1998, the Florida Retirement System Pension Plan initiated the Deferred Retirement Option Program — better known as DROP. The following BSO employees took advantage of this program, which provides an alternative method for payment of benefits for a specified and limited period. Their participation in the program enabled them to keep working at BSO for up to five years; that five-year period expires on June 30th. Join us in wishing the best of luck and an enjoyable retirement to them all! Sgt. John Armold, Countywide Operations Dep. Barry Buss, District 6 Civil Dep. Francis Campos, Civil Division Capt.

Eileen Zymowski, Stockade Facility In all, BSO estimated that it could shave 6-8 weeks off the recruitment-toemployment process by conducting its own testing and training. The approval process was arduous. First, BSO had to get approval from the Region 13 Training Council, where it was almost unanimously ratified. Then, a formal application was made to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), which then sent a field specialist down to access the need and inspect our multitude of training facilities. In the mean time, BSO was working diligently to prepare itself for the approval it anticipated. Florida Department of Corrections representatives were brought in to teach BSO staff about the COBRA curriculum; certified instructors were lined up; uniforms and patches were designed and ordered; and equipment was secured. Achieving Certification On May 8th, the Sheriff made a presentation before the 19-member Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission in Ponte Vedra, Florida, requesting a class “c” license to conduct corrections-based training. That request was granted, making BSO the first sheriff’s organization nationwide to receive such a certification. A week later, on May 15th, the first class of 24 cadets began their four-month training regimen (11 weeks of classroom instruction and four weeks of hands-on training) at the Broward Sheriff’s Office Institute for Criminal Justice Studies, which operates under the direction of Capt. Tim Gillette. Until BSO’s Department of Detention vacancies are significantly reduced, the ICJS will run concurrent sessions, with the second class of 24 beginning in July. Currently housed within the Training Division, ICJS will soon move to its own building currently under renovation adjacent to the Public Safety Building. Stay tuned to future issues of Signal 14 to learn more about this ingenious initiative. 9 BSO Biography Sgt. Pauline A. Cerrito, Conte Facility Sgt. Pauline A.
