Crime Victims Services Registration Information

Registration Information

How to Register
Complete the FCPTI/Victim Services Registration Form and submit it prior to the start date of the course. Seating is reserved based on the date registration is received. Victim of Crime Assistance (VOCA) priority registrations must be received 6 weeks in advance of the course to ensure enrollment. FCPTI will maintain a waiting list should cancellations arise.

Class Size
Class size is limited to a maximum of 50 participants per course, except as otherwise determined by FCPTI.

Attendance Requirements
Each participant must attend all sessions of a course in order to receive a certificate of completion or designation

Dress Code
Casual business attire is acceptable for all courses.

Special Accommodations
If special accommodations are necessary due to a disability, contact FCPTI at least 10 days in advance of the training date to make necessary arrangements.

Confirmation of Enrollment
FCPTI will mail letters and directions to VOCA priority participants to confirm registration for a course upon receipt of the registration. Non-VOCA participants will not receive confirmation letters until 6 weeks in advance of the start date of the course. If a confirmation letter has not been received at least 6 weeks in advance of the start date, please contact FCPTI at (850) 414-3360 to confirm your attendance status. Participants should review the confirmation letter for any changes to lodging, training site locations, or spelling of name as it is to appear on the certificate.

Lodging
Each student is responsible for making reservations and paying for his or her room and board directly to the hotel. Special room rates are not guaranteed beyond the hotel reservation deadline. In order to receive the listed room rates, the student must reference the “Attorney General’s Office, Division of Victim Services” at the time the reservation is requested. Published room rates do not include taxes. Individuals should confirm tax rates at time of reservation. Participants should indicate method of payment and confirm documentation needed at time of reservation. Please refer to course descriptions for hotel reservation information.

Individuals claiming exemption from tax must pay by presenting a check from the exempt organization along with a copy of the organization’s Florida Certificate of Tax Exemption directly to the hotel.

Cancellation
To cancel a registration, notify FCPTI at least 2 weeks prior to the start date of the course. This may be done in writing and mailed to: The Office of the Attorney General, FCPTI/Victim Services, The Capitol, PL-01, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1050, or by faxing to: (850) 413-0633.

Due to the high demand of our training courses, please be considerate of your colleagues by notifying FCPTI as soon as possible should you need to cancel your registration. This would allow your colleagues who may be on a waiting list the opportunity to register for the course.

No Show Penalties
Due to the large number of no shows during previous years, we have instituted a “No Show Policy.” Programs will be held accountable should participants from their agency register for a course and not attend. This policy will be enforced! For more information and a listing of the penalty fees, please refer to the No Show Policy Link.

Refreshments
In accordance with Florida Administrative Code 69I-40.103, FCPTI is prohibited from spending state funds for refreshments, to include coffee and doughnuts.
