If You Have Reasonable Suspicion, What’s Next?
• Know what the employee is doing at the time- is it safe?
• Consult with another trained supervisor• Contact your Human Resources Manager• Arrange transportation to test site• Review DOC Drug Policy and Collective
Bargaining Agreement• Have BIO-MED Collection Site List ready• Document basic facts or circumstances

What if…

This is a series of arrest photographs of the same individual taken over the course of 10 years. Some of the photos were taken at closer time intervals than others. Note the radical difference between photos 6 & 7, taken less than 2 years apart. Unfortunately, we do not have any photos prior to the first arrest to see the initial changes.
