Common use of Administration of the Drug Testing Program Clause in Contracts

Administration of the Drug Testing Program. Medical Liaison Section (MLS), Personnel Division, is the most appropriate Department entity to administer the Police Officer Drug Testing Program for the following reasons: 1. The program is a facet of the personnel function and therefore should fall under the auspices of the Commanding Officer, Personnel Division. 2. The administration of the program will be carried out on a twenty-four-hours- per-day, seven-days-a-week basis. This responsibility can best be fulfilled by MLS personnel deployed during a Day Watch and "floating" PM/AM Watch. 3. Since officers will be tested from all geographical locations, the program administration should be centrally located. 4. The collection of samples by MLS personnel, as opposed to some other administrative or investigative unit, may help to diminish program resistance. The Commanding Officer, Personnel Division, will be designated as the Drug Testing Coordinator and the Officer-in-Charge, Medical Liaison Section, will coordinate the daily activities of the program. The collection of samples and the liaison between Personnel Division and test subjects will be assigned only to MLS personnel.
