COSC Questions Answered Here :)

I was able to have the oral communications requirement at COSC waived . It was pretty straight forward, I had my employer write a letter on letterhead attesting to my public speaking abilities and he gave a couple of examples along with it, although it wasn't nessesarly needed.

I then wrote a letter to Dr. Adams, the provost explaining my background, I submitted with the letter the official request form, as well as a copy of my police instructors license as well as a PowerPoint presentation that I had prepared. I was sent an email two days later stating the request was granted and the oral communications requirement was waived.

It is worth a try, I think as long as you can articulate some reasonable experience in public speaking / oral communication that they grant the waiver.
