After the arrest of an inspector from the Brussels-West police zone, caught red-handed consuming cocaine while on duty, MP Catherine Delcourt (MR) is relaunching her bill allowing drug testing for police officers and security professionals, but only in cases of serious suspicion.
For Catherine Delcourt, the issue is clear: guaranteeing exemplary conduct among representatives of authority. “I don't understand how anyone could be against giving the means to act against police officers who might use drugs while on duty. To me, that means there's a kind of tolerance for using drugs on duty, and that's unbelievable! Those who represent the authority of the State must be beyond reproach. There must never be any doubt.”
An initiative supported by Minister of the Interior Bernard Quintin.
