DRUG TESTS FOR POLICE A MATTER OF COMMON SENSE

I agree that some Allentown cops are honest, compassionate and worthy of 
being called a policeman. However, meeting cops in Allentown is like 
gambling in Atlantic City.

Meeting a good cop, one who is true blue, gives inspiration and 
encouragement to last a lifetime. However, I don't feel that they are too 
good for drug testing, especially considering the access they have to 
narcotics and firearms.

I think they should just realize that if they have nothing to hide, it is 
just a safety measure. There is no need for protests. They are being 
trusted with our lives and our safety.
