Random Drug Testing The Chief of Police shall have the right to order random tests for the presence of illegal drugs on all officers, which may include ananbolic steriods. Officers shall be selected by the use of a lottery, administered by the collection firm, with each drawing, including the names of all officers. The Department shall be allowed to test up to fifty officers per fiscal year, with tests conducted up to six (6) times per fiscal year. A PBPA representative shall be allowed to verify that a current Department list of officers is used during the lottery drawing processes. All tests ordered by the Employer in this regard shall be at the expense of the Employer. The parties agree that the participating officers’ names will be chosen on a random basis. The testing company will be provided with a complete list of all the PIN numbers for all the then current sworn officers in the bargaining unit. The testing company will generate a random list of fifty (50) PIN’s from the then current list. The Department will go down the list of fifty (50) until they reach the first officer actually working on the date of the test. Officers will not be selected to test that are not working on the date of the test. That first working officer’s shift will be considered the first shift of the three (3) consecutive shift, twenty-four (24) hour, testing period. If the parties agree that there is a need to further promote the random nature of the process, the Department will start at the bottom of the list on next test date, alternating thereafter.
