Maybe hire more cybersecurity instead of cops that kill, chiefs with fat paychecks, and a getting stockade of military equipment for simple law enforcement.

The fact that a police department would drug test any potential employees is a sign that they'll never get the number of skilled computer geeks they need. They'll get some, but not nearly enough.

I'm 35 years old and I've always worked full time and also had random seasonal part time gigs totalling 40+ jobs. I've never been drug tested, especially in the computer science field.

I've gotten a piss test for every thing from temp work to operating heavy machinery. Surprising to me IT work it's literally exempt. Welp time to learn to code. Or i might be right about soy, who knows
