Police Service Aide (5300)
This program prepares students for employment
as:
- Parking Enforcement Specialists (OES 63021)
(SOC 33-3041),
- Traffic Crash Investigators (TCI) (DOT 375.263-014)
(SOC 33-3099) and
- Community Service Officers (DOT 372.367-010)
(SOC 33-9099.99)
in accordance with Chapters 316 and 943 of the
Florida Statutes.
Section 316.640, F.S., mandates that a course approved by the
Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Criminal Justice Standards
and Training Commission (CJSTC) be used to train civilians, employed
by police departments, sheriff's offices or the Florida Highway
Patrol, to investigate traffic crashes. Even though successful
completion of this course is required to perform the duties of
a non-sworn TCI, the CJSTC does not certify these individuals.
Additionally, this is an instructional program that prepares individuals
to provide initial care to sick or injured persons. The First
Responder is the first to arrive at the scene of an injury but
does not have the primary responsibility for treating and transporting
the injured person(s). First Responders may include law enforcement,
correctional officers, correctional probation officers, life guards,
fire services or basic life support non-licensed personnel who
act as part of an organized emergency medical services team.
The content includes, but is not limited to: the employee’s role, constitutional and criminal
law, crash investigation, first responder techniques, traffic
control, and police community relations as designated in minimum
training requirements as established by the CJSTC.
Estimated tuition is $370 (for Florida residents as of 7/05). Contact the program manager for additional costs (materials, fees, textbooks).
