Don't get me wrong. These guys and gals are supposed to be able to do a.s. unchecked but be able to take me to jail for having them in my car. They picked the job not me. It only seems right.

[Bigboy123]

What mart said is kind of right, it sucks, but if they can bring me to jail for juice, why should they be allowed to do it...

True...but are you tested for AS at your job? I'd be willing to venture not. How would you feel if your boss announced that he'd be administering drug tests for any "performance enhancing" substances??

I see your point, i'm kinda on the fence right now, but wanted to play devils advocates...so...

[Mart651]

As a police officer you are required to obey and uphold the law. Now I know a lot of police officers in my town and I consider them my friends. I have told them many times that being a police officers was their choice and setting there drinking and driving with me one night and then taking someone to jail for it the next. Makes them the biggest piece of **** I know. So same goes for A.S.

until you have walked in a police offices shoes please do not make those kinds of remarks. Police officers are human too. No police officer walking the streets is perfect. If you consider them your friends then why would you call them a POS?

Hey Bro, obviously this is something near and dear to your heart and I understand how you feal. When i said that they are the biggest POS i know, it was to their faces and they had plenty of chances to take up for themselves.
I know they are only human but my point was they chose the job and then make the choice to take someone to jail for exactly the same thing they are doing. For example six years ago one of my best friends (who is now a ex cop) was setting in the back of a bar doing gaggers all night long. Two nights later I got a phone call from another friend who needed me to come bail him out of jail for cocaine.
Come to find out the arresting officer was my other friend who was scraping them out like there was no tomorrow two days before. So my point realy is if you are going to take me to jail for something that you do on your own time, then you should be tested for what ever the last guy you took to jail had.

Don't credit me with this mongrel prose; it has many parents; at least 420,000 of them: Policemen.

A policeman is a composite of what all men are, a mingling of saint and sinner, dust and diety.

Culled statistics wave the fan over the stinkers, under-score instances of dishonesty and brutality because they are "news." What that really means is that they are exceptional, unusual, not common-place.

Buried under the froth is the fact: Less than one-half of one per cent of the policemen misfit that uniform. That's a better average than you'd find among clergymen.

What is a policeman made of? He, of all men, is at once, the most needed and the most unwanted.

He's a strangely nameless creature who is "sir" to ,his face and "fuzz" behind his back.

He must be such a diplomat that he can settle differences between individuals so that each will think he won.

But............
If the policeman is neat, he's conceited; if he's careless, he's a bum.
If he's pleasant, he's a flirt; if he's not, he's a grouch. He must make in an instant decisions which would require months for a lawyer .

But............
If he hurries, he's careless; if he's deliberate, he's lazy.

He must be first to an accident and infallible with a diagnosis.
He must be able to start breathing, stop bleeding, tie splints, and dry tears.

The police officer must know every gun, draw on the run and hit where it doesn't hurt.

He must be able to whip two men twice his size and half his age without damaging
his uniform and without being "brutal."

If you hit him, he's a coward; if he hits you, he's a bully.

The policeman must, from a single hair, be able to describe the crime, the weapon and the criminal - and tell you where the crimial is hiding.

But...
If he catches the criminal he is lucky; if he doesn't, he's a dunce.

The policeman must chase bum leads to a dead end, stake-out 10 nights to tag one witness who saw it happen but refuses to remember.

The policeman must be a minister, a social worker, a diplomat, a tough guy and a gentleman.

And of course he will have to be a genius.....For he'll have to feed a family on a policeman's salary

I hear ya, It's like someone once said to me, "People view Police like the watchdog, you need him but you don't like him, and you never want him inside the house". People just don't get it.

pretty cool.
The only other place I ever read that was in a detectives office when I had to go make a statement about a bar shooting i witnessed. I thought it was pretty cool then also. So I change my mind you should be allowed to do steroids unchecked but seeing you live close to me I ask that if you stop me and find A.S. on me you let me go. If I tend to get smart please do not get upset. If I realy piss you off please do not rage. Roid rage is only bad when you put yourself in a normal situation that would usually excite you but you take it to different level and are unable to control yourself. So if I piss you off count to ten and remember I'm only human also.

This is a subject that we will probably never agree on and thats ok. Thats part of the freedom that the police allow us to have. I respect your oppinion and agree with you on 99% of your other post.

[Bigboy123]

Yeah same goes for if ur not a cop u get pulled over waisted ur getting a DWI... If ur a cop get pulled waisted, chances are nothins happening, I just think its a little unfair, i have a bunch of freinds that r cops that juice, doesnt make it right, its just the perspective that u can do what ever u want is not to cool, no one is above the law persay..

[Danielle]

i'm going to take the Suffolk County police exam as soon as they hold the next one.........Nassau and Suffolk cops are the highest paid in the county....correct me if im wrong but i believe they are.........but lets not forget Nassau is the most expensive county to live in, in the United States

your gonna goto be a cop?

[JohnDoe1234]

Relax everyone. I'm from LI and I know many Suffolk cops. I just took the Suffolk exam and I did very well. What this most likely means is that if, A cops commanding officer has a reasonable suspicion that an officer is on juice, he can put in a request that the officer be tested. This does not mean that it will be part of the initial qualifiaction to pass a steriod test in order to become a suffolk cop. They can't and won't make it a random thing to test just anyone and everyone. There has to be suspicion of steriod use. Just to let you all know, the NYPD already does this and has done so for years. And I know many a city cop that used juice, and they never had a prob. When you do into the PD you are drug tested as part of a pre-emplyment screening process, they take a hair sample that goes back for 3 months, and they test for rec drugs. They do not test for steriods, it is just cost prohibitive to test people at random for steriods. Like I have said there has to be reasonable suspicion. Oh by the way Cutie where did you hear this info from any way?.

but lets not forget Nassau is the most expensive county to live in, in the United States

R u sure about that, im pretty sure i know a few more expensive counties to live in in the US.... I know naussua is expensive but

[Juggernaut]

And I'm sure if you are under suspision the officer in question will be notified by his supervisor as to when the test will be given (or he has a set time whithin to take the test) so that he can "study" for the exam.

[Butch]

I seriously think they should be tested...I mean you are a cop, you take someone to jail for drinking and driving, snorting coke, taking juice smoking weed....these ****in cops do al that **** and no one can touch them. Don't get me wrong I have the utmost respect for cops...I wanted to be one....I cannot stand those who abuse their authority...those cops I do not like! SO I say test those f*ckers!

[Stea7jjdyEddie]

Danielle you just missed your calling the Nassau and Suffolk County cop test were given in the last couple of months. If you want the New York State Troopers test is going to be comming up if you want to take that!!! I hope FDNY doesn't make that a requirement testing for steriod use!!!!! JohnDoe good luck with the Suffolk county cops.... a lot of money.

Dunno how it is in your area but in Canada good looking females and visible minorities have a MAJOR advantage when applying to be a cop. Out of curiousity what is the salary range you speak of?

[3Vandoo]

So ****ing true!

IN Quebec by example, if you are white and a male you need
to do your 3 years in college in police science, then if you are hired by a department you can go to the provincial academy.

But, if you are a minority, you dont need your college degree, neither to go to the academy, HS 's diploma is enought................

I love liberals!

Totally that way in BC, especially Vancouver City police. You've been to Regina before right? Notice all the good looking female cops in the city that is home to the RCMP bigwigs.

[RageControl]

state trooper test is over too friend just got home from albany. I know lots of cops here on the island including state troopers and it seems to me from conversations and experiences suffolk cops are cleaner then the nassau. personaly i think they should be giving tests for othere drugs besides steroids some of these guys are into some crazy ****. :spudniktr

[JohnDoe1234]

No, there is a trooper exam in May. You have to File before Feb 1st.

[LostUp]

I want to be a cop, I have a few things to do before its an option for me but it sounds like a great job to me. Carry a gun all day long, working out is a plus, helping people, and getting ok money to do it all. Only problem is it's so hard to get the job...

Yeah, good luck in Buffalo. Other than a family member that's in sex crimes, my cousin had to go to NYC to apply, and he rocked the tests, and even then is still on the wait list till next year. They are laying off a bunch of cops in Buff as it is.

[3Vandoo]

BS, they are saying they will test. But at the price the tests are averaging they will not do it.

[rambo]

Yes, here in Oahu a gallon of milk cost 5-6 dollars. That's ridiculous.

[hoss827]

Wow! That's a buttload of cash...Danielle I say go for it if this is whatcha want. You know you can do it , and so does the board. You have your dream, just turn it into reality. Good luck angel,

[RageControl]

Not to mention the killer pension plans..

[Danielle]

Not to mention the killer pension plans..

OMG..........the benefits of a cop on long island are unimaginable............

[hoss827]

yeah really...Pension is very good. I'm joining the US Air Force so eventually I can get penision...
