God, it's been a few years since I've been here!
I have a VERY important question though.
Say, right, that you had this idiot friend, right...
... and this idiot friend applied for a job with the police.
Idiot.
And then, this idiot friend got through the application process till the medical.
Fair enough.
But THEN, this total idiot took e's and coke before the medical.
Bollocks.
Er... how long is that crap detectible in your system? Number 1: for a urine test, and Number 2: for a blood sample?
If they do test you for it and you come up positive... do they prosecute you or just chuck you off the recruitment sceme?
As a matter of scientific interest, obviously. *coughs*

You'd be chucked off the force.
It's not detectable for that long (except in hair). If you got fucked a day or two before the medical, you could easily get booted out. But more than a few days you should probably be ok.
Check www.erowid.org, i'm sure there'll be stuff on there which is more authoritatively concise.
Try fake piss devices, or just get someone to fill another tube for you if you're worried.
Fucking hell, another blast from the past.
Hows things?
As Spliffie said, Erowid have an extensive Drug Testing Vault and although they are a US based site I am assuming the same procedures are used here as well. At the bottom of this page on the basics there is a really useful chart, unfortunately the amount of time cocaine is detectable in a blood test is unknown - however this is a really expensive way of testing and therefore is not common. I would assume they would do a saliva test before a blood test, but if you want to be sure I would call Release and ask them what testing methods are used.
