Is this normal? (Read 2890 times)

	My boyfriend recently took a poly test for LAPD and the results were that he did not fail nor did not pass. The examiner stated that he would have to send it up to public safety were it will be reviewed. It has been almost 1 month already and no answer from them. Is this good or is this bad? What will probably happen now? He has passed 3 recent poly's within a year and a half. Would they evaluate the other poly's he has taken and consider him as a truthful person? After the test, he waited for almost an hour in the room. Later the examiner came in and told him if he had any problems with any questions on part 2 (the integrity)? My boyfriend replied "No" and everything he had mention is the truth. My boyfriend also said to me that during the test, the examiner stopped the test several times and asked him to wash his hands. The examiner also kept adjusting the strap chords on the fingers placing them on different fingers and the other hand. Was the examiner fishing for answers when he asked the questions?

	tbone, Regarding the amount of time it has taken for the LAPD to contact your boyfriend regarding his polygraph results, while the wait of almost one month is not necessarily bad, I don't think anything good can be inferred therefrom. I think it is strongly doubtful that the LAPD would actively seek the results of the polygraph examinations your boyfriend has taken with other agencies and consider them in making a hiring determination. As for the polygrapher's several requests that your boyfriend wash his hands, it would appear that the polygrapher was unhappy with the level of reactivity on the electrodermal channel of the polygraph instrument. He may have suspected that your boyfriend had rubbed antiperspirant on his fingertips in an attempt to beat the "test." I think your boyfriend should call his recruiter and get an answer on his polygraph results. If he didn't pass, he should contest the results in writing (see Chapter 5 of The Lie Behind the Lie Detector for suggestions on how to proceed) to: PHYLLIS M. LYNES CHIEF, PUBLIC SAFETY EMPLOYMENT DIVISION 700 EAST TEMPLE STREET LOS ANGELES CA 90012 He can also e-mail Ms. Lynes at plynes@per.lacity.org. Her phone number is (213) 847-9717.

	In my humble opinion... I've found that one's LAPD case manager is the best bet for phone calls and letters... For starters, anyway. If you don't get answers there, go up the chain. But, in my experience, the case manager seems to be the one that makes all the bacon fry over there...

	"Integrity questions" are the LAPD's term for control questions... Have you beau call his case manager...
