Phnom Penh's Finest to be Drug Tested
Police chief plans to bring in urine testing for Phnom Penh officers
26 March 2019
Phnom Penh Municipal Police chief Sar Thet has revealed plans to introduce drug testing for officers under his command, with those failing to be kicked off the force. The move is a bid to stamp out police involvement in drug crimes.
He told The Post on Monday that no date had been set for the implementation of the urine test, but it would be introduced within an acceptable timeframe.
Thet said he did not believe many of his officers were using drugs because they needed to pass drug tests before they could join the police force.
“However, after graduating, a small number of individuals [might start using drugs]. So we must educate [them] in advance against this. It does not mean that we suspect our officers are involved in it. We only want to intervene to prevent any of them [from using drugs],” he said.
He said any officer failing a drug test would be thrown out of the Phnom Penh Municipal Police.

Good move. They are bad enough after a few cans of ABC, we don't need them getting methed up too.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
