Steroid testing eyed for police

[Bouncer]

Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis is thinking of making his officers do something uncommon in big city departments: submit to regular testing for steroids.

As a federal grand jury probes steroid use in the Boston Police Department, Davis has ordered his aides to research the ways other departments around the country test for the drug.

"It really does revolve around the issues of steroids causing aggression in people and the concern around that problem," Davis said in a recent telephone interview. "We would look at other policies around the country to look at best practices. We certainly don't want to write the book from scratch if it's already being written."

Good luck to the guys having to wrestle down a coked-up maniac without being jacked. I predict that steriod testing will lead to cops being much quicker to draw their guns/tasers.

:agree: this degree of witch hunt is becoming ridiculous. maybe a program of kicking irresponsible steroid users/sellers asses should be implemented. a few bad apples or ingrates ruin it for the rest of us.
