the term "drug history" is very relative..................how much and how long ago is important.
Yes I know officers who have used drugs.
Here is one example
http://www.dps.state.ia.us/commis/pr...ications.shtml
To determine whether you meet the Department's drug policy, please answer the following questions:
Have you used marijuana at all within the last two years?
Have you used marijuana more than a total of 15 times in your life?
Have you used any other illegal drug (including anabolic steroids after February 27, 1991) at all in the past 10 years?
Have you used an other illegal drug (including anabolic steroids after February 27, 1991) more than a total of five times in your life?
Have you ever sold any illegal drug for profit?
Have you ever used an illegal drug (no matter how many times or how long ago) while in a law enforcement or prosecutorial position, or in a position which carries with it a high level of responsibility or public trust?
If you answered YES to any of the above six questions, you are immediately disqualified and should NOT apply for a peace officer position with the Department of Public Safety.
Other conduct not specified will be evaluatedLast edited by Iowa #1603; 05-20-2011, 03:28 PM.Since some people need to be told by notes in crayon .......Don't PM me with without prior permission. If you can't discuss the situation in the open forum ----it must not be that important

You're probably done. At least with my dept you would be.
Minimization is not going to be your friend here either.

What you consider abuse may well be a LOT different than any background investigator's definition of abuse.sigpic

What made you stop at 20, I mean 15 or was it 21, 22..."An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded."

Also no department is going to take the above as an answer. You WILL have to come up with a number and pass a polygraph on that number.
Originally posted by 1jq512 View PostIm not downplaying it. I said less than 20 so you know my range. If you want me to actually count each time i can. But wouldnt it help if i was clean after 5 years and my entire adult life? I hear about cops that have had a history with harder drugs.
You HEARD about such and such an officer..................but is that documented? I doubt it.Since some people need to be told by notes in crayon .......Don't PM me with without prior permission. If you can't discuss the situation in the open forum ----it must not be that important
