Police using Steroids
Reports from the United States reveal how a Canby City police official has been placed on administrative leave after allegations surfaced over the officers use of anabolic steroids.
The reports surfaced when The Oragonian alleged that a separate police organisation tipped off Police Chief Greg Kroeplin that one of his officers had gone to a drug dealers house to buy steroids, whilst on duty.
It has been mentioned that Kroeplin may have ignored the evidence implicating one of his officers. Evidence that Jason Deason was buying and using drugs such as anabolic steroids.
The benefits that are provided by the use of steroids are of obvious desire to a member of the police force. Increases strength, increased size and muscle mass are traits being chased by officers like Deason.
But the most worrying point of view is to consider is way in which steroids are able to affect not just the physical aspect of the user, but the mental state also. The term ‘roid rage’ is associated with the use of steroids as often users are unable to control their aggression in stressful times. Not ideal for an officer of the law.
Deason was a well-known motorcycle cop and the informant claimed that Deason would often drive over in uniform to pick up the drugs.
The FBI have been investigating the matter after the informant was arrested in July after raiding his house to find canisters of anabolic steroids.
An investigation will now take place by an independent third party into whether the allegations are true and the course of action to follow.
“The city understands the importance that the community maintains the trust in the integrity of the Canby Police Department that it has worked so long and hard to earn over the years. To this end, the city administrator has ordered that the personnel investigation be carried out by an independent third-party entity as soon as possible,” according to the release.
Local residents seem to be disappointed in the so called ‘protectors’ of the community and urge in future to lead by example.
