NJ Law Enforcement Officers Still Under the Gun

New Jersey law makers call for stringent testing and investigations of their law enforcement officers and firefighters. Assemblyman John McKeon (D-Essex) has asked NJ Attorney General Paula Dow to determine if criminal charges should be pursued since the drugs were purchased for non-medical reasons and paid for using government benefits. In a statement, McKeon adamantly addressed the situation “These people should go to jail. They shouldn’t be on the public dole for substances that are, for the most part, illegal and might constitute insurance fraud.”

At this stage, investigations have shown that hundreds of officers and firefighters have received substances from a Dr. Joseph Colao and have accused Colao of falsifying diagnosis in order to prescribe medications of steroids and human growth hormone . According to “The Star Ledger” the total cost to tax payers is in the millions of dollars, although no exact amount has been given.

Attorney General Dow has stated the officers and government employees have in-fact committed fraud and appear to be in direct violation of the law.
Police Union heads have stated they are in favor of random steroid drug testing for their officers but the legitimacy of this claim is to be determined. One has to question it since it is the union’s job to protect their employees and when you’re talking about a large number of employees involved, as in hundreds, this can often change the game.

With the recent bust of several FBI agents accused of similar practices, the gun pointed at various law enforcement individuals from the top to bottom of the totem pole appears to be growing. Some have argued if anyone should be allowed to use performance enhancing substances it should be law enforcement officers; it’s an argument that is long standing. However, as with citizens the law itself applies to all, including those upheld to enforce it. Hopefully for the sake of simple sanity these laws will be revisited in the near future and with any luck they will be adjusted to fit in the realm of common sense.

I think many police officers are on PED. Wasn't Ronnie Colemann also a Police Officer?

look at how they try and justify this shit, cops are the most crooked criminals out there. if they are optaining prescriptions knowingly based on fraudulant test results furnished by their doctor they are commiting a crime, plain and simple. also how many times do they run into a juiced up crackhead...gimmi a break

I'm sure something similar happens in a lot in all states... I'm in Boston and taxes are stupid high and those money go to illegal overseas gambling and with out a doubt in few pockets. What can we do, but just read about and bitch and moan. Regardless its aggravating how our tax money gets into these people's hands.

I'd be irritated at them using their insurance for it, but frankly, it's just a perfect example of why these things should be legalized. Cops and fire dept are doing it to keep up with criminals and the ever increasing demands of their jobs...

That AG is a moron.

The media, U.S. government, have always been very big hypocrites when it comes down to AAS.

You are more likely to get killed around a group of alcoholics then around a group of juicing bodybuilders.

These guys make good money too.. It's not like a Fire fighter could not afford his GH.. those guys get paid bank!! It should be legalm and then it would cost fifty bucks a cycle. The government was never meant to be an establishment of censorship, yet here we are.

I think PEDs are involved in just about every career. If people want to use them they are going to. No reason to be testing for the stuff unless it is affecting public safety. Only reason steroids are a class 4 drug anyway is because a Canadian beat us in the Olympics.
