New Drug and Alcohol Policy in
The NSW Police Force will introduce a new Drug and Alcohol Policy on 1 July which strengthens the current policy by extending the scope of existing programs and reinforcing community expectations of a drug-free Police Force.
In 2005 the Police Integrity Committee conducted Operation Abelia. Based upon the outcomes of the report, a range of recommendations were made to strengthen NSW Police's capacity to minimise illegal drug use by officers.
Commissioner of Police, Ken Moroney AO, APM, is a staunch advocate for the NSW Police Force Drug and Alcohol Policy and believes contravention of the policy places the safety of employees and the community at risk and compromises the integrity, reputation and effectiveness of the NSW Police Force.
“I reiterate my commitment to a Police Force free of illegal drug use,” Commissioner Moroney stated.
“Illegal drug use or supply by a police officer is not acceptable at any time, whether on duty or off duty – any officer found to be using illegal drugs will be dealt with according to the law,” he said.
Since 2001 there has been an Amnesty in place allowing NSW Police Officers to come forward if they have had a substance abuse problem. At this time those officers were provided with rehabilitative services to help them overcome their problem.
“Drug abuse and other substance abuse should not be tolerated in the NSW Police Force,” Commissioner Moroney said.
“Daily, police deal with high stress situations and anything that may impair judgement, or hinder the ability to make appropriate and timely decisions, is potentially a danger to police and community alike.”
As of 1 October 2007 this amnesty will be revoked, officers who have applied for the protection of the amnesty prior to October 1 will continue to have the provisions apply for the usual 12 months.
