WTFX Fox 29 Philadelphia\u00a0reports<\/a> that beginning this spring, Philadelphia Police Department applicants will be subjected to polygraph screening:<\/p>\n

In the past two years we’ve seen a lot of Philadelphia police officers fired and criminally charged for cases of theft, assault, and drug dealer shake-downs.<\/p>\n

So now, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey is turning to an old tool to weed out potential bad apples.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Ramsey confirmed to Fox 29 that starting this spring, all recruits headed for training at the police academy’s next class will undergo a lie detector or polygraph test.<\/p>\n

Ramsey says polygraph tests will be administer [sic] to the 125 candidates for the next police recruit class in addition to the physical, psychological and written tests.<\/p>\n

Ramsey has already upped the age limit to 21, and he now will require three years of driving experience and 60 college credits for recruits.<\/p>\n

He acknowledges with more that 20 cops fired or arrested in the past two years, he’s looking for ways to improve the caliber of cops that join the department.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia police used to undergo polygraph tests years ago, but the practice was halted back in 2003 by Commissioner Sylvester Johnson.<\/p>\n

Ramsey will hire a private firm to conduct the tests. The cost of the tests is about $150 per recruit.<\/p>\n

Polyrapgh [sic] tests are not admissible in court, and there are clearly lots of critics of lie detector tests.<\/p>\n

Ramsey believes the psychological test, the polygraph test and background checks that will now be done by internal affairs detectives will give the department advanced indicators that a particular candidate my not be fit to join the ranks.<\/p>\n

He says he committed to cleaning up the department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n

As of the time of this post, the Philadelphia Police Department’s Hiring Process<\/a> page has not been updated to reflect the new polygraph requirement.<\/p>\n

While the polygraph requirement should provide a nice cash flow to the as-yet-un-named company that is awarded the contract to screen applicants, it won’t necessarily result in a cleaner police department. Polygraph “testing” has no scientific basis<\/a>. Because it is inherently biased against the truthful<\/a>, and yet easily passed through the use of simple countermeasures<\/a> that anyone can learn, the new polygraph requirement could have the unintended consequence of screening out the most honest and conscientious applicants while allowing the dishonest to pass through.<\/p>\n

A question for Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey<\/a> and Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5<\/a> president John McNesby<\/a>, who according to Fox 29 favors the polygraph requirement and says it “is a useful tool to weed out potential problem officers for the future”: If polygraphs are so great, why limit them to new recruits?<\/strong> After all, it’s seasoned officers who have been having corruption problems. So why not enact mandatory periodic polygraph screening for all<\/strong> Philadelphia P.D. officers?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
