In its new Model Policy for Law Enforcement Pre-Employment Screening Examinations, in defiance of law enforcement agencies across the country that disqualify applicants based on nothing more than failure to “pass” a pre-employment polygraph examination, the American Polygraph Association (APA) holds, at para. 3.12.1.3, “The decision to hire, or not to hire an applicant, should never be based solely on the results of the polygraph examination” (emphasis added). For discussion of this major development, see, American Polygraph Association Model Policy on the AntiPolygraph.org message board.
