Record summary
The CJSTC Form 61 records full-time employment from August 16, 2021 through July 1, 2024. The form marks a voluntary separation while an investigation concerned statutory or moral-character standards. That designation describes the status at separation and does not, by itself, state a final finding.

CJSTC Form 61
Flagler Beach hiring and certification records
Added November 4, 2026. These records concern later employment with Flagler Beach, separate from the New Smyrna Beach employment summarized above.
According to the City’s November 4 response, the initial swearing-in was completed in error while Schuchardt’s certification was inactive. The City reported verbal advice from FDLE representative Garry Kimpel, no written record of that conversation, and no written rescission notice. The City stated that her certification became active October 18, 2026, and that during the inactive period she performed administrative and training duties, received no police credentials or uniform, performed no law-enforcement duties and retained the same pay. The supplied subsequent oath forms are dated October 20, 2026. These are attributed statements and records, not an independent misconduct finding.
The application lists Kyle Totten and Greg Cook among personal references. Chief Blanchette’s September 29 announcement described the prior day’s swearing-in. Review the application, oath forms and labeled email exhibits below for context. Three exhibits are editorial summaries of recovered correspondence; the announcement is a text excerpt. They are not substitutes for original email records.
