Around 182 police personnel belonging to the Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office (NOPPO) underwent random drug testing earlier this week. NOPPO spokesperson, Police Major Edison Garcia, said the testing was the second session carried out this year.
Garcia said drug testing is conducted to ensure their members are not using illegal drugs.
A previous drug test carried out in January for 86 NOPPO personnel, all of which came back negative for drug use.
Text results are expected this week.
Earlier this month, 100 Iloilo Police Provincial Office (IPPO) officers underwent drug testing by the Regional Crime Laboratory Office-6.
Meanwhile, IPPO is still awaiting results from testing conducted in February.
185 samples submitted in January previously came back negative for illegal drugs./DGB, WDJ
