Starting on June 1, new applicants only have to be marijuana-free for the past three years to qualify as an officer.
The old rule, which was put in place in the 1970s, was much stricter, saying if you had smoked or used marijuana just five times since turning 21, you were disqualified. If you had smoked 20 total times, you couldn't be an officer.
Agencies across the state have been struggling recently to find new recruits and this new rule should help. Baltimore City Police Commissioner Kevin Davis is the vice chairman of the Maryland Police Training and Standards Commission that approved the rule change on Wednesday.

To be more realistic about it there should be a 24 hour rule.
3:54 I imagine they give you a drug test upon initial hire just like most govt agencies
Voice stress test. Can't refuse it in le if you do you will be fired.
Keep lowering the standards. You already have one of the most corrupt P.D. in America. Any cop worth a crap has left or is leaving. This problem excluded to many Negros from being hired. Thank God the some are not caving to this liberal thick skull mentality. Kevin Davis has turned into a puppet. He was as crooked as the rest when he was rank and file.
