Just want to get some feedback from the community on this issue...
How do you feel about other officers who use steroids? Is it wrong no matter what, or is it sometimes OK to even out the playing field?
You know the bad guys are juicing left and right.
Is it any different for prospective candidates who might consider doing a cycle to get in better physical shape for the acadamy?
I know the most common response will be that its illegal and its wrong no matter what, but its a known fact that steroid use by LEOs exists... Just want to hear some oppinions. Thanks in advance.

It's illegal. Bg's are taking PCP too. Should officers do it also?

Well, first, I wouldn't want to disappoint you, so, yes, it is illegal and wrong! But more importantly, do you have any idea what juice does to your body over the long haul? Read up on it, find out from users first handwhat it can do to you. If you need steroids to "even out the playing field", you need to find another line of work, man!

There is no excuse for a law enforcement officer to be illegaly using steroids or any other controlled substance.

You are disolussioned....police work starts with smarts....not muscle.
Steroids is a quicker path to your organs breaking down and you dying.In god we trust...all others keep your hands where I can see them.

im not full of it,
nobody said it was ok, but not everyone had a negative reaction, 2 people did say if it was legal theyd consider it. They also emphasized the importance of physical fitness and other alternatives that can enhance your results and performance at the gym.

Good God, sorry for the double post but it didn't offer the "edit" option. CAN YOU NOT LEARN TO TYPE PROPERLY with capitals, punctuation marks and such? And you want to be a cop and write proper reports? WTF? :confused: Originally Posted by Vlad

The idea is to get and stay in shape, not try out for Mr. Universe. Just because you can bench 400 lbs doesn't mean you're gonna come out on top in a fight. It's the person who has the strength, endurance AND flexibility that's going to win. Steroids may be necessary for the NFL, but not police work.
Put the money in learning verbal skills. That will get you out of more sticky situations than the size of your bicep.Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine
