I fear that COP is no longer a safe place to work! People are allowed to grow beards now, and everyone knows you can't work safe and have a beard!

No, they still have it. You know there's a concern for safety when you get called for a "random" drug test 3 times in 2 months. Such a good use of all that extra money we have too.
Safety only matters if it doesn't cost money. Always been that way.
