Most police departments have a public complaint process. If the officer has committed misconduct, lodging a complaint with the department is the best remedy. Be prepared to prove your allegations with more than just your own say-so. Also, you must normally prove that the officer violated either the law itself or departmental regulations. Simply objecting to the officer's actions is not sufficient grounds. There must be an actual "rule" in place that has been broken.

Failing that, you may try filing a complaint with your Attorney General's office for your State or Province.

Some jurisdictions also have ombudsmen or other mechanisms for independent Police oversight.

Skipping the formal process and pestering the officer's supervisor, etc., will generally not produce results.

If employed by hospital police and you take a exam to become a Port Authority police officer and fail the drug test can you be reportd and fired?

Let me just start by saying that you should not be a Police Officer. Getting back to your question. As a police officer you have a "Moral Clause" in which your current agency can use to hire you. Since you are already a police officer you should know that if you did drugs (depending on what you did) at one point you were in possession of such drugs. In CA that's a felony. Technically speaking you commited a felony and got away with it. Do the rest of us, hospital police a favor and quit your job.
