Respondent.

ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT
The Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, hereinafter referred to as the
Commission, files this Administrative Complaint against the Respondent, James S. Brown. The
Commission seeks to impose disciplinary action upon the referenced individual based on the following
allegations:
1. Respondent was certified by the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission on June
25, 1986, and was issued Law Enforcement Certificate Number 62023 and on April 26, 2000, was issued
Instructor Certificate Number 211135.
2. (a) On or between September 1, 2006 and December 31, 2006, the Respondent, James S.
Brown, did then while employed as a law enforcement officer with the Alachua County Sheriff's Office,
engage in sexual contact with another, while on duty.
(b) On or about February 20, 2007, the Respondent, James S. Brown, did unlawfully
make a false statement, which he or she did not believe to be true, under oath administered by Inspector
Mike Jones in an official proceeding, to wit: an internal investigation, in regard to a material matter.
3. The actions of the Respondent did violate the provisions of Section 837.02(1) or any lesser
included offenses, Section 943.1395(7), Florida Statutes, and Rules 11B-27.0011(4)(c), (a) and 11B-
20.0012(2)(f), Florida Administrative Code, in that Respondent has failed to maintain the qualifications
established in Section 943.13(7), Florida Statutes, which require that a Law Enforcement and Instructor
officer or Instructor in the State of Florida have good moral character and which gives rise to a
disciplinary action against Respondent's certification.
4. This Administrative Complaint is issued pursuant to Sections 120.60, 943.12(3), and
943.1395(7), Florida Statutes. Any proceedings concerning this Complaint shall be conducted pursuant
to Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes, and Chapters 11B-20, 11B-27, 28-106, and 28-107,
Florida Administrative Code. Mediation is not available under Section 120.573, Florida Statutes.
WHEREFORE, it is alleged that the Respondent, James S. Brown is guilty of violating Sections
943.1395(7), and 943.13(7), Florida Statutes, and Rules 11B-27.0011(4)(c), (a) and 11B-20.0012(2)(),
Florida Administrative Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Florida Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission hereby
complains against James S. Brown and alleges that an appropriate penalty, as provided in Section
943.1395(7), Florida Statutes, should be imposed for the reasons set forth above and in accordance with
the Election of Rights form (to which is attached an Explanation of Rights form) attached hereto and
incorporated herein.
