	Does anyone know the standard time to get poly results from a P.D.? I took the test 10 days ago and still nothing. Believe it or not, the guy that did my test was VERY cool. I stll kept my guard up. All the questions I answered were "no" questions and not very invasive. My heart was POUNDING the whole time, but he said as long as it didn't change while going through the questions 2 times, it was fine. At the end he said "you souldn't have any problems", and "good luck throught the rest of the procedure".. Now, why has it taken this long and no word from the P.D.? Do they have someone else look at the results? Do the view it with a microscope, pick it apart? Any info would really help Thank APE HANGERS

	It sounds like to me you did fine. Usually if there are any problems they will conduct a post test interview. They will ask you questions like do you have anything you want to get off your chest or on this question what were you thinking. In addition the comment "good luck... and you shouldn't have any problems..." is a very good sign. Sometimes if you have problems they will come right out and tell you that you failed. They can even get mean. Perhaps they are continuing with their process or just waiting to set up the interview date so all applicants can be processed together. It also depends on the size of the PD. Large cities take longer to do things. I live in a small town @100,000 and the whole process took about six months. Have they finished your background? They could be working on it. Just have patience, it sounds like your golden

	I just took my polygraph & im confused on whether or not I passed. I swear my heart rate went up as soon as the guy opened his mouth for each question, but I was being honest. Afterwards, he didn't ask any further questions but said he couldn't tell me if I passed or failed. He said that the new batch of officers start in about a week so I should hear something back sometime before. & that he still has to grade my charts. Don't they know right away if you passed or failed? He also said that no news is good news. Idk, he would say something to make me think I passed but then would say something else making it seem like I may have failed? What usually happens immediately after a polygraph if you failed? Do they ask more questions? & if they need to print & grade/score your charts, is that a bad sign?

	Here it can take up to a month to get polygraph results. The whole process (from time of application to date of hire) can take up to 1.5 years. Plus another 6 months in the academy. It took a lot of people 2 years from the time they applied to actually going out on patrol.

	I don't know how long CPD (Chicago Police Department?) typically takes to notify applicants of results, but if one fails, one usually is told that right then and there in the polygraph suite, and then subjected to a "post-test" interrogation.

	Siya, Your polygraph charts will have been scored while you were still present for the "test." Had you "failed," it would have been standard practice to confront you with the results then and there, and to interrogate you in hopes of getting an admission or confession. If you weren't told that you failed during the polygraph session, that is a strong indication that you probably passed.

	Good day I needed to know for how long do you have to wait for your polygraph test results as i did mine on Monday the 16 of August 2021 and according to them i was told that they will get back to me in two days and now it's the 3rd day and the person that was doing a polygraph test with me asked me at the end that 'How i think i did'.

I can only answer your question based on personal experience. That being said, there is no standard waiting time to receive your "test" results. In local police departments here, the polygraph shaman forms some kind of initial opinion, and then the charts are scrutinized by his supervisor, who makes a final determination and decides whether you get to proceed in the application process. You'll never really know for sure whether you passed the "test." The interpretation of the charts is pretty subjective, and it basically comes down to how you did in your interrogation and whether they like you as a candidate. Best of luck and I hope you receive good news soon. George - What do you think of my take on the process? Does that sound about right?
