Most are not. I'd like to see a link to that BTW.
Drug testing isn’t anything new.
The fact is, the overall majority of those at all levels of government are not randomly tested, like those on the lower food chains are.
It’s also irrelevant if those in government are drug tested. We may not like what they so but they do work for a living (mostly). Those receiving public assistance are not working for the money they received, by definition.
I just got off the phone with a Milwaukee Police officer and yes, they do get drug tested.They are tested before they leave the academy and again randomly. A select number of officers are randomly tested. The officer I spoke with has been tested about 6 times.
They also are tested after any type of incident. For example an accident or shooting. So you may want to walk back your comments a bit.
I will search the Milw. Police Dept. website for a link for you about the random testing. It does state on their site that a drug test is a condition for employment.
