PoliceDrugTesting.com The site has a section that discusses the Company’s international testing services.

A.Clinton Allen, Vice Chairman and Director of Internet Services said, " We are pleased to announce this new Internet site, policedrugtesting.com, designed to provide police departments and law enforcement agencies the opportunity to easily and quickly implement a state-of-the-art drug testing program. A recent article in The Boston Globe noted that the Boston Police Department, that uses the Psychemedics hair test, uncovered 23 drug users among 1200 officers screened. The Boston Police Department offers a unique rehabilitation program for officers found using drugs. Tom Montgomery, president of the Boston Police Detectives Benevolent Association was quoted, "By getting caught, it gives them an opportunity to go into rehab and become whole again." Police Commissioner Paul F. Evans was quoted, "If I have one officer testing positive, I’ve got a problem." Commissioner Evans was also quoted, "Drugs are probably the single biggest threat to the integrity of officers and this department." The complete article appears on our Police Drug Testing .com website. Psychemedics is pleased to be able to offer police departments a "no nonsense" drug testing product that they can rely on."
Allen continued, "We believe www.policedrugtesting.com provides yet another important opportunity for Psychemedics to expand its Internet presence and further its goal of becoming the premier provider of drug testing services on the Internet worldwide. Our goal is to have the Psychemedics drug test in use by every police department and law enforcement agency in America. It is the best test available to maintain a drug-free police force."
