The New York Police Department (NYPD) on Monday announced that, effective immediately, officers will no longer be subject to random, scheduled or pre-employment drug tests for marijuana as the state prepares to launch its retail cannabis market.
That’s a significant policy change for the nation’s largest police force, which employees about 36,000 officers.
NYPD says that it will continue to screen officers who are suspected of being intoxicated while on the job, according to a confidential document obtained and first reported by Leeroy Johnson of Viral News NY, but off-duty use that complies with state law will not be penalized.
