PRE-EMPLOYMENT POLYGRAPH EXAMS FOR POLICE, FIRE, & OTHER PUBLIC SERVICE APPLICANTS

​

A pre-employment polygraph exam (lie detector test) is a decision support tool that assists governmental agencies in selecting law enforcement, fire department, and other public service applicants.

​

The exam objectives are to:

• Increase the disclosure of information during the background investigation

• Deter unsuitable applicants from applying or remaining in the applicant pool

• Detect those who attempt to withhold information during the hiring process.

​

The investigative targets of the examination can be tailored to fit your agency. For example, common targets include:

​

• Property crimes

• Crimes against persons/violent crimes

• Acts of violence

• Illegal sexual acts

• Illegal drug involvement

• Prior employment and/or military disciplinary history
