The FFD is required to take a urine test, but the FPD is not, what if someone has a bashful bladder syndrome? Is this not covered under the ADA, or are there other test that can be ordered such as hair, saliva or blood test?

I to wonder why employees are not tested for aids?

Florence police officers are required to get a physical once a year. A urinalysis and blood work is part the exam.

They should have privacy. In most labs, etc., the water in the toilet is dyed blue and the water in the lavatory is either turned off or an attendant stands outside the door and listens. Most officers are male and should have no trouble urinating in a cup. It is somewhat more difficult for a woman, but I've never heard of anyone who couldn't give a sample. If an individual wanted a more invasive test--blood, saliva, etc., he or she would have to pay for it.
I'm reminded of the late Lewis Grizzard. I couldn't care less if Green Bay's quarterback is on heroin. I just want to be sure my dentist isn't dipping into the nitrous oxide. Our priorities are skewed.

Maybe our football players AND our dentists could be tested.
I know the guy who used to give the test and he said cops get them all the time...after any incident physicals and random ....so.....??????
I once worked with a lady who refused to have a urine test run, she demanded a blood test and the company refused to do it, she was fired because of it. She later found out that she had paruresis. Needless to say she won her case in court. And now her employer gives the employees a choice of either a urine test or blood test.
Anyone working for the city of florence is not required to take a yearly drug test. you take one at the beginning of the employment screening and another one anytime you screw up, so to speak.
Bad,
Hence the the phrase screw up. I think that pretty much covers it.
