Police will be subjected to testing based on tip-offs.

Those involved in critical incidents, such as a shooting or a car chase, could moreover be tested, along with members in high-risk units.

Mr Cornelius expected a immense more than half of police would be willing to comply with testing and played down the jeopardize of unsalable article make an indisposed appliance of by members of the deaden through narcotics investigation one.

"I’first attempt be very surprised if in that place were some members in the medicine squad who had anything to hide," he related.
