NYPD To Test For Steroids

Few police agencies nationally have random drug testing for police, though the practice is more prevalent with larger agencies.

Since random drug testing is generally thought to be a mandatory subject for bargaining, it'll be interesting to see if this spawns a demand to bargain or a grievance under a maintenance of benefits clause.
