Report it to his/her immidiate manager and possibly to the manager above him/her (if the immidiate manager doesn't react in a satisfying manner). It is disrespectful to you and to your fellow officers for this person to be drinking on duty, and the dept could be held liable for any misconduct that occurs as a result of his/her drinking.

Confront the person in question. As Police officers you both should know the dangers of alcohol and cars and alcohol and guns. Give the person the opportunity to change the bad behavior. If the person continues to abuse the policy Suggest a treatment program and if refused, talk to the union on how to proceed. You do not want to put yourself in a bad position with other officers. If you go straight to a supervisor or I A you might.

I'd report him...and, I did have to do that once.
The training officer I had been assigned to one evening shift reeked of alcohol. After briefing, but before the shift started I went into the Sergeant's office and refused the assignment. When asked why, I told him.

Do what is right. Report it either anonymously to his superior, or stop him right then and there. You would feel very bad if that officer killed someone on the way home or got shot that night. Your ability to make good decisions is what keeps you alive. Us citizens don't know how easy we have it! All we have to do is show up to work and push buttons.

Ask him why he is not sharing!
Seriously, I would tell him that he had about 30 seconds to book off the rest of the shift ill. I would also tell him that he had about 30 more seconds to report himself to the Sergeant and ask for help. I would tell him that I would be about two minutes behind and following up to make sure he took care of the issue himself.

Are you serious??? Drop the hammer and turn them in. Public servants are just that there to serve the public. Not doing anything about it does not help anyone but yourself. It does not the help the officer, does not help the public, and does not help the person they accidentally hurt. Again your only being selfish because you don't what to do anything uncomfortable to yourself.

I would report them. If something serious happens and they are not sober, they may not be able to handle it properly. You don't anything bad to happen, so tell whoever is in cheif, but ask your name not to be mentioned when they talk to this certain drinking officer.

I would confront the officer before I went any father and ask his explanation. I mean its the wrong thing to do but you could make it worse for yourself if you rat him out.
