In the wake of allegations that deceased steroids dealer David Jacobs sold the drugs to officers at Dallas PD and four other area departments, Dallas PD had decided to implement random drug testing, the Dallas Morning News reports, though they insist they've been planning it for some time. Will the other departments Jacobs named - Plano, Garland, Richardson and Arlington - follow suit?
I haven't seen a copy of the policy but it sounds like a good faith start to addressing the problem, and DPD deserves credit for taking this step. Still, I still wish feds or some other outside entity would take over the investigation into Jacobs business connections with Metroplex police officers.
