In July 2020, the Santa Clara County, California District Attorney’s Office charged Robert E. Foster<\/a>, then a polygraph operator with the San Jose Police Department, “with using his private security company to commit insurance fraud, tax evasion, wage theft, and about $18 million in money laundering.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, 14 January 2022, the Santa Clara County, California District Attorney’s Office issued a press release<\/a> announcing that Foster, who is now retired from the San Jose Police Department, has “pleaded no contest to a series of felony fraud charges and will be sentenced to three years in county jail and two years of mandatory supervision.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foster’s wife, Mikaila Foster, has “also pleaded no contest to a variety of related fraud charges” and will face one year in the county jail and five years of probation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foster, now a convicted felon, continues to offer polygraph services to the public<\/a> through his security company, Genesis Private Security (formerly known as Atlas Private Security).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of this writing, Foster continues to be listed<\/a> as a “certified polygraph examiner” (a legally meaningless term) by the California Association of Polygraph Examiners<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case against Foster (and a number of co-defendants) is Criminal Case No. C2010222 in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
