Sources: 2 Pittsburgh Police Officers On Leave After Positive Drug Tests
By: KDKA-TV News Staff
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Two Pittsburgh police officers are on paid administrative leave.
Sources tell KDKA-TV that both officers tested positive for drugs.
The two female officers work in different departments. One works in police headquarters, while the other works in patrol, though it is unclear which zone.
The cases are likely unrelated but came to light through drug testing.
Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert confirmed to KDKA-TV that one of the officers tested positive for marijuana.
FOP President Robert Swartzwelder sent a statement to KDKA-TV, saying:
"A working agreement between the City of Pittsburgh and the FOP expressly prohibits the discussion of any internal matter until the case is concluded and the matter is appealed beyond arbitration."
