How Prevalent Is Drug Abuse Amongst Police Officers?

Question by Curiouser: How prevalent is drug abuse amongst police officers?
I hear about police officers with depression and drug problems (besides the obvious- alcohol).
So how many cops (percentage) are drug abusers and what seems to be their drug of choice?
