119 Officers Fail Drug Test in State
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The latest wave of drug tests for police officers in a southern state turned up 119 agents who tested positive for drugs--4.1% of those tested. All 119 officers will be fired immediately, Miguel Mario Angulo Flota, secretary of the Quintana Roo state public security system, told the government’s Notimex news agency. The tests were given to 2,879 officers in Quintana Roo state. Angulo Flota said he believed that 4.1% “does not constitute an alarming proportion.”
