If you want jobs to return to America, stop taxing the corporations higher than other industrial countries, get rid of Obamacare, get EPA off the backs of small businesses who do not have the manpower to fight them, reduce paper required by small businesses who do not have the manpower, stop restricting business from operating freely interstate (for example I can not buy health insurance from outside of my state), reduce unemployment period from 99 weeks to 12 weeks (the people whose unemployment expires find jobs quickly), give people tax incentive to work instead of collecting welfare and food stamps.

I personally spent time in Singapore observing why they have 40% more jobs than citizens living there. They have zero unemployment compensation and zero food stamps for adults in working age group. They have low corporate taxes and they import foreign workers to do the menial jobs nobody wants on 2 year work permits. No wonder Singapore now has the most concentration of millionaires, every 6th citizen is a millionaire.

Here is the link to the PDF file that is the Drug testing policy for the Milwaukee Police Dept. It covers all of the instances where drug testing is required (even when they are promoted or have been on an extended leave) and also cover random testing. The chief determines the frequency and officers are chosen randomly.

The officer I spoke with on the phone was kind enough to email the link just for you:) A simple thank you will suffice:)

Everyone in the chain of command from POTUS on down should be required to p** in the bottle. Everybody!

Shoulda, coulda, woulda....But not the case...

You'll find most lower down the food chain are subjected to random testing.

I'd start with everyone in government, from Congress to the local DMVs.

If Bobby and Cindy at HomeDepot are subjected, so should everyone in government, especially those in control or in a position to judge others, in any fashion. This includes those doing the testing.

Dragnet, I just sent you two more links. One is a PDF file about the MPD’s drug testing program including the random testing. I told you I spoke with a MPD officer about this and he sent me the link to the policy. Are you calling me a liar?

I think the police union in Milwaukee overturned it..

But if they do, that’s great because Milwaukee Police Dept has had it’s share of drug scandals.

No, the union did not overturn it. Yes, the policy has been in effect for a long time. It is still the policy today. If you noticed on the right hand side of the document near the top it says:

REVIEWED/APPROVED BY:
Captain Regina Howard
DATE: February 18, 2014

So it was still in effect a year ago.

And now I am done with you. It seems to me that you have a bone to pick with law enforcement that causes you to throw around statements that are not true. I went through the effort of trying to correct and educate you. Sadly some people are just not able to be educated and can’t handle the facts. Good luck to you. Maybe you could call Captain Howard yourself?

The only ones whom have a reason to gripe...are the ones whose $$ is being plunked down. If you’re feeding from the taxpayer trough (and, as a (L) that’s #1 that should go....no forced ‘charity’. Completely anti-5th and 13th).

And, no, they should be tested FIRST, on THEIR dime. Bring the results when you’re trying to sign-up.

Now, let’s not get into the voting side of things; I have my own growing list of ‘to do’ if I’m ever asked to be King for a day :) But, if anyone should start their a vanity thread on the same....

Well the police union up there sure tried. That's on the Internet too.

I told ya up thread, if it was still in effect that was good.

""I think the police union in Milwaukee overturned it.. But if they do, that’s great because Milwaukee Police Dept has had it’s share of drug scandals.""

So there is no reason for you to get excited and throw out baseless comments like the "bone to pick" comment.

Relax.

i think an initial test. If clean maybe one follow up unannounced in the next year. Less expenditure of resources addressing the cost of the program objections and not terribly intrusive. Afterwards testing only done under specific circumstances like an arrest or at the suggestion of a social worker. Also if some social worker ends up with a ow batting average, using the tests for vindictive or petty purposes then they lose their job.
Gosh. Took me more time to type than think this up. Whats so difficult about inserting a little common sense into the law?
