Legal Question in Employment Law in California

pre-employment drug screen notification

i was offered a civil service job in government,(county)law enforcement in january. It required a very thourough backround check that they are now finishing up. I am supposed to go to headquarters to pick up my paperwork and schedule my physical. I was informed that the physical is just a basic physical (check eyes, ears, reflexes, etc.). I inquired if there would be a pre-employment drug screen and was told no (there has never been metion of a drug screen at any previous time). Is there any possible way they can spring this on me? All previous screenings (for other jobs) were made aware to me in advance.
