In a 22 April 2021 YouTube interview with retired NYPD detective Ron Licciardi<\/a>, polygraph operator Daniel Ribacoff<\/a>, who is best known for his appearances on the lowbrow daytime television talk program, the Steve Wilkos Show<\/em>, disclosed<\/a> that he has the contract for administering pre-employment polygraph examinations to New York Metropolitan Transit Authority Police Department<\/a> applicants, stating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We happen to have the contract for the MTA police, the Metropolitan Transit Authority Police, so we do the polygraphs for pre-employment, where we search for what we call undetected crimes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As previously<\/a> reported<\/a> by AntiPolygraph.org, Ribacoff’s company, International Investigative Group, is the defendant in current civil litigation credibly alleging billing fraud in the millions of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 17 June 2021, AntiPolygraph.org submitted the following inquiry to Metropolitan Transit Authority media relations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the MTA aware that the contractor who does pre-employment polygraph screening for the MTA Police Department (International Investigative Group) is the defendant in a civil lawsuit credibly alleging billing fraud in the millions of dollars? AntiPolygraph.org reported yesterday on the latest developments in this litigation:<\/p>

We’re planning to report on the MTA having selected the fraud-tainted International Investigative Group (IIG) to screen police applicants and would like to know 1) when the MTA awarded this company its first contract to screen applicants, 2) when the current contract period ends, 3) whether MTA intends to cancel the current contract before it ends, 4) whether MTA intends to renew its contract with IIG, and 5) how many applicants have been polygraphed by IIG?<\/p>

Any additional comment MTA may have on its dealings with IIG is also welcome.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

MTA media relations neither responded to nor acknowledged this inquiry, which was submitted directly via their website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
