Hypocrites

"An officer is not fired until a second positive test."

Seems like the two strike rule should also apply to those arrested on drug charges.

"Officers are tested before they join the force, again while on probationary duty, then annually within 30 days of their birthday. They are also tested if they get promoted or assigned to a special unit such as narcotics or organized crime."

Knowing all this, they still tested positive. I'd hate to see the numbers if random screening were implemented.
