Police union wants mandatory drug testing

The police union says all officers should undergo drug tests after a long-serving policeman was charged with drug offences.
The 46 year old officer has been stood down from all duties and the Commissioner is considering his future with the force.
It is alleged the man used a police computer to access the details of a drug dealer before visiting a house in Safety Bay and smoking methylamphetamine while he was off-duty.
He has been charged with using a prohibited drug (methylamphetamine), possessing a prohibited drug (methylamphetamine), possessing a smoking implement and driving with an illicit drug in his blood.
He has also been charged with unlawfully accessing a police computer.
The police union’s Russell Armstrong says all officers should have to undergo drug tests.
“We as a police union and fellow police officers don’t want to be working with someone who’s using illicit drugs while they’re driving police vehicles and in posession of firearms.
The union has not offered assistance to the man.

Coalition pledges drug jail to help addicts

The New South Wales Opposition says it will dedicate a specific jail to rehabilitating drug-addicted inmates if it wins office next year.

The proposal would see inmates undergo a treatment program with regular drug testing.
Shadow Attorney-General Greg Smith says the chosen prison would likely be in the Sydney metropolitan area.
"We want to have a specific prison just as they have a specific prison for people with issues of violence and for serious sex offenders," he said.
"We believe they need intense treamtent and we want to have a situation where the jails are very secure from drugs being brought in, but we want to fight their problem while their in prison."
The Salvation Army's Gerard Byrne has welcomed the proposal, saying it will give better access to treatment for addicted prisoners.
"Certainly there have been some moves to provide drug treatment programs within the prison system in the past, but those places have been limited," he said.
"This initiative will expand the number of places significantly, and provide broader access to prisoners who have drug-related problems."
