OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of psychotropic drug use among military police officers in the state of Goiás, Brazil. METHOD: Study carried out at twelve military police units located in the municipalities of Goiânia and Aparecida de Goiânia between March to October 2008. Volunteers (n = 221) were interviewed about drug use using a questionnaire especially designed by the Centro Brasileiro de Informações sobre Drogas Psicotrópicas (CEBRID). Descriptive statistics was used to determine the prevalence of licit and illicit drug use in the study sample. RESULTS: The frequency of use was divided into: 1) lifetime use: tobacco - 39.9 percent, alcohol - 87.8 percent, cannabis - 8.1 percent, cocaine - 1.8 percent, stimulants - 7.2 percent, solvents - 10.0 percent, sedatives, anxiolytics, antidepressants - 6.8 percent, LSD - 0.5 percent, Bentyl® - 0.5 percent, anabolic steroids - 5.4 percent; 2) use in the previous year: tobacco - 15.4 percent, alcohol - 72.9 percent, stimulants - 6.3 percent, solvents - 0.5 percent, sedatives, anxiolytics, antidepressants - 3.7 percent; 3) use in the previous 30 days: tobacco - 14.5 percent, alcohol - 57.5 percent, stimulants - 5.0 percent, solvents - 0.5, sedatives, anxiolytics, antidepressants - 3.7 percent. CONCLUSION: The high prevalence rate of psychotropic drug use found amoung military police officers in two cities of the state of Goiás in Brazil can be considered an important factor with potential influence on job activities.
