Dirty Cops & PIs<\/em> blog founder and editor Jeffrey Augustine<\/a> reports on newly discovered racist text messages attributed to disgraced polygraph operator Daniel Ribacoff in an article titled, “Trouble for Polygraph Expert Dan Ribacoff as More Racist Texts Surface.”<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both AntiPolygraph.org<\/a> and Dirty Cops & PIs<\/a><\/em> previously reported on a different set of racist text messages sent by Ribacoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new racist text messages are associated with Ribacoff’s business’s California telephone number<\/a>, +13105920027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his report, Augustine contacted the American Polygraph Association\u2014of which Ribacoff is an associate member<\/a>\u2014”for comment regarding Ribacoff\u2019s alleged racist text messages and their implications for the polygraph industry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reply, American Polygraph Association president Roy Ortiz “stated that the APA does not comment on matters involving litigation.” It is noteworthy 1) that Augustine’s inquiry was not limited to litigation that Ribacoff faces<\/a>, 2) that the American Polygraph Association is not a party to that litigation, and 3) that the American Polygraph Association bylaws<\/a> include no such restriction on commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2003, American Polygraph Association president Roy Ortiz, then an APA director and the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department’s polygraph unit, was the subject of specific and credible allegations of corruption<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Augustine also notes that Daniel Ribacoff’s daughter and business associate, Lisa Ribacoff, is a director of the American Polygraph Association:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the course of our research, we discovered that Dan Ribacoff\u2019s daughter, Lisa Ribacoff, is a current director and board member of the American Polygraph Association. Given the serious implications of the racist messages allegedly sent by the father and CEO of Lisa Ribacoff\u2019s company, and in order to maintain a minimal level of integrity, the APA should require Ms. Ribacoff to recuse herself from participating as a Director of their organization.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
