JSS243 02/2017 31 NARCOTIC USAGE
Our society’s opinion and beliefs on the use of narcotics is constantly changing and in some instances leaning to more liberal thoughts. However, an ILLEGAL DRUG IS STILL AN ILLEGAL DRUG HERE IN TEXAS. It is important that the Grand Prairie Police Department be aware of your past and/or current illegal drug use. This is because if you become a peace officer you may be called to testify as a witness for the State in criminal prosecutions of persons charged with illegal drug usage. The defense can and will ask about your personal drug usage in an effort to attack or impeach your credibility. We believe in honesty and integrity, first and foremost, here at the GPPD.
An illegal use is when a drug is NOT PRESCRIBED TO YOU by a licensed medical practitioner, but ingested by YOU. It is also considered an illegal use when, having received a prescribed narcotic by a licensed medical practitioner, you fail to follow the instructions on the quantity to ingest over periods of time thus taking more than prescribed. Further, ingesting another patient’s medication that is not prescribed to you becomes illegal. An example of this type of act is where you may have a headache and another person, who has a prescription of Tylenol 3-with Codeine, gives you one to ingest for your headache.
Let’s discuss what we mean by drug usage. By usage we mean the ingestion of drugs into your system. Ingestion is defined as, but not limited to, snort, sniff, inject (needle), smoke, puff, toke, oral (by pill tab, tasting, consume or mixed with food or drink), or absorbed into the body by any means. Each separate instance of usage, regardless of quantity consumed, constitutes “one time used.”
We are also interested in identifying exactly when you used each drug. You will be given an opportunity to explain the first date that you used each drug, and the last time you used each drug.
When asked to give the maximum number of times that you used the drug, you must give the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TIMES YOU USED THE DRUG. For instance, if you have snorted cocaine six times, and you state that you used cocaine five times, you will appear to be deceptive when questioned on a polygraph. Likewise, if you are not sure how many times you used a drug, such as marijuana, then state the absolute maximum number of times you could have used the drug.
Now please consider the following chart, explaining if you have used each of the drugs mentioned, the first time (year) you used the drug, the last time (month and year) you used the drug, the absolute maximum number of times you used the drug, and how you used the drug. If you have never used the particular drug, then check the appropriate NEVER area. Please list only drugs not prescribed to you or having been prescribed but used improperly. Prescription drugs of another person’s that you used, even though legally prescribed, should be listed.
