NDIC Employment Drug Policy
NDIC is firmly committed to a drug-free society and workplace.
Therefore, the unlawful use of drugs by NDIC employees will
not be tolerated. Furthermore, applicants for employment with
NDIC who currently are using illegal drugs will be found unsuitable
for employment. NDIC does not condone any prior unlawful drug
use by applicants. The following policy sets forth the criteria
for determining whether any prior drug use makes an applicant
unsuitable for employment, balancing the needs of NDIC to maintain
a drug-free workplace and the public integrity necessary to
accomplish its mission. Applicants who do not meet these criteria
should not apply for employment with NDIC.
CRITERIA
Under NDIC's current Employment Drug Policy, applicants will be
found unsuitable for employment if they:
- Have used any illegal drug (including anabolic steroids
after February 27, 1991), other than marijuana, within the past
ten years, or engaged in more than minimal experimentation in
their lifetime. In making the determination about an applicant's
suitability for NDIC employment, all relevant facts, including
the frequency of use, will be evaluated.
- Have used marijuana/cannabis within the past three years,
or have used marijuana/cannabis extensively or over a substantial
period of time. In making the determination about an applicant's
suitability for NDIC employment, all relevant facts, including
the recency and frequency of use, will be evaluated.
- Have used any illegal drug while employed in any law enforcement
or prosecutorial position, or while employed in a position that
carries with it a high level of responsibility or public trust.
- Have sold any illegal drug for profit at anytime.
- Are discovered to have misrepresented their drug history
in applying for employment.
To determine whether you meet NDIC's drug policy, please answer
the following questions:
- Have you used marijuana at all within the last three years?
- Have you used any other illegal drug (including anabolic
steroids after February 27, 1991) at all in the past 10 years?
- Have you ever sold any illegal drug for profit?
- Have you ever used an illegal drug (no matter how may times
or how long ago) while in a law enforcement or prosecutorial
position, or in a position which carries with it a high level
of responsibility or public trust?
If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, you should
NOT apply for the position. They are immediate disqualifiers.
