According to him, officers or staff found to be involved in drug abuse were subject to penalties such as a warning, demotion and dismissal.
Mohd Azis said this in the Dewan Rakyat during oral question-and-answer session, in response to a question from Lim Lip Eng’s (PH-Kepong) who wanted to know the number of police personnel detained for drug abuse since Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador’s was appointed Inspector-General of Police in May.
He said police officers and staff involved would have their blood or urine samples taken for a second round of test, if the pathology report was negative.
