police academy drug test

[nachomscl]

How are the tests done? Are they done at some chain you would find in a strip mall, or other small hole in the wall clinic?

at a place called medxpress. i dont have health insurance so ill go there. its not somewhere that it HAS to be done, just as long as its a licensed physician.

That's a walk in urgent care place right? If so, I would not worry bout it. Does the department you are going for not pay for the test themselves, or does that fall on every applicant? The reason I'm asking all this is, if your department is floating the bill and will only pay for a small urgent care, then I seriously doubt they will cough up the coin for a steroid test. If they expect the individual applicants to pay for their own tests, then its just not reasonable to ask the applicant to pay up for such an expensive test.

in FL, you'd be fine for the academy. however, some individual agencies DO pay for gear tests. FL is known for having some of the strictest requirements, in this country. if we're fine, you're prolly fine. however, keep in mind, you're about to be surrounded by LEO's. there's a good chance they'll spot your puffy face and call you out on it. as far as actually getting tested, as a routine, i highly doubt it...... we don't :-D

Most law enforcement will do random testing, if you "stick out" physically, they will test you.
