Official says no drugs for off-duty police
Thu Jan 31, 11:46 AM ET
The Dutch interior minister wants police officials to stop using soft drugs when they are off-duty as it tarnishes the image of the force.
The use of some soft drugs is tolerated in the Netherlands and the sale of cannabis in small quantities for recreational use is permitted in government-regulated coffee shops.
"The minister does not want police officials to use soft drugs, such as cannabis, not even during their spare time. It does not fit with the presentation of the police to the public," a spokesman said Thursday.
There are 25 regional police forces in the Netherlands, some of which have implemented a no-drugs policy for off-duty officers while others have not, he said. "We should have one rule for the whole force," he said.

Guess they can still do it AT work, though...

I'm sure most are aware, but cannabis consumption at coffee shops is legal in the Netherlands.
This policy makes a lot of common sense.Question - The Liberal Party Nominee for New York County Sheriff.

Well, if it's legal there, then that does make sense. It's just like asking officers here not to get drunk enough in public to make fools of themselves. Just because you legally can do it doesn't mean you should.
We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.

It would be a violation of their civil rights under Dutch law for the Politie (civilian police) to test them for drugs, or so I am told by a Dutch friend that works for the Koninklijke Marechaussee (gendamarie).
