§ 10-101. General policy regarding drugs and alcohol.

Latest version.

The use of illegal drugs and the abuse of legal drugs and alcohol by paid on-call members of the fire department present unacceptable risks to the safety and well-being of other employees and the public, create a greater risk of accidents and injuries, and reduce productivity. In addition, such conduct violates the reasonable expectations of the public that the employees who serve and protect them, obey the law and be fit and free from the adverse effects of drug and alcohol abuse.

To further the goal of employing persons who are fully fit and capable of performing their jobs, and for the safety and well-being of employees and residents, the city has established a program containing the necessary provisions, including drug and alcohol testing, to implement the general policy regarding drugs and alcohol.
