Goan on misdemeanor charges associated with his work as a polygrapher.

Goan, 51 years old of Raymond, on an arrest warrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The arrest stemmed from an investigation into misconduct specific to the former officer\u2019s duties as a Polygraph Examiner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goan was charged with a series of misdemeanor crimes to include:<br \/>Unsworn Falsification &#8211; Class D<br \/>Violation of the Maine Polygraph Examiners Act &#8211; Class E<br \/>Multiple counts of Tampering with Public Records or Information &#8211; Class D<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goan was booked at the Cumberland County Jail and has been released on bail pending his arraignment in Portland Court, scheduled for October 29, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2015, Goan has run a private security consulting firm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rjgoan.com\/\">RJ Goan &amp; Associates<\/a>, that advertises <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rjgoan.com\/polygraph-services\">polygraph services<\/a> as well as a so-named <a href=\"https:\/\/vastscreening.com\/\">Validated Automated Screening Technology<\/a> (VAST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is unusual for any polygraph operator to face criminal liability for official misconduct. In 2009, Chris Smith, then head of the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation&#8217;s polygraph unit, was <a href=\"https:\/\/antipolygraph.org\/blog\/2009\/11\/20\/north-carolinas-senior-polygrapher-charged-with-assault\/\">charged with assaulting<\/a> a person he had polygraphed. In that case, charges were <a href=\"https:\/\/antipolygraph.org\/blog\/2009\/12\/02\/district-attorney-finds-no-evidence-against-north-carolinas-top-polygraph-operator\/\">ultimately dropped<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2004, the then head of the Los Angeles Police Department&#8217;s polygraph unit, Roy Ortiz, was <a href=\"https:\/\/antipolygraph.org\/forum\/index.php?topic=1714.0\">credibly accused<\/a> of misconduct involving the falsification of documents (conduct seemingly similar to the charges against Goan), but the matter was ultimately swept under the carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calista Stocker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/us\/articles\/former-cumberland-county-sheriffs-deputy-220125196.html\">earlier reported<\/a> on Goan&#8217;s arrest for News Center Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 11 September 2026, the Cumberland County, Maine Sheriff&#8217;s Office in a media release posted to Instagram announced the arrest of former deputy Regan J.
