Notice: In April 2012, a new Online Certificate Database will be implemented on this site for all “Online Officer Training and Mandatory Retraining Courses.”

EACH Automated Training Management System (ATMS) user will have the capability to enter an officer’s training information into the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s (FDLE) new database and print certificates. This new database will eliminate the lengthy process for obtaining online training course certificates that is currently in place.

This is a preliminary notification regarding FDLE’s new online training certificate process; more information will be forthcoming. For questions, please contact the Bureau of Professional Development (BPD) at 850-410-7373.

Online Officer Training and Mandatory Retraining Courses

The Florida Criminal Justice Executive Institute, located within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s (FDLE) Bureau of Professional Development has created professional, comprehensive, and interesting online training courses that satisfy the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission’s (CJSTC) mandate for officer re-certification. These courses include the four mandatory topics, Juvenile Sexual Offender Investigation, Discriminatory Profiling & Professional Traffic Stops/Human Diversity, Domestic Violence, Elder Abuse, and other courses of interest to law enforcement personnel. All training hours are free and eligible for use toward the CJSTC 40 hour mandatory retraining requirement.
