Lincoln,

Well stated. Many deputies that I work with have had similiar experiences. They had to do their preemployment processing several times because of failing the polygraph. They rely on the polygraph because most LE agencies don't have the resources to send BI's into the streets to actually perform a "true investigation". The thing that I find ironic is that you may face the same polygrapher again, he knows you didn't pass before( unless, of course, you don't tell) and then he deems you NDI, and you answered the questions the exact same way every time.

They tell you that because it has happened to them as I said above. However, once you are a sworn LEO, except for the Feds( I could be wrong here) you cannot be polygraphed for any actions that occurred on duty.

Its a crap shoot because the polygraphers have you sign a release of liability before the "test". This gives them carte blanche to manipulate the outcome without fear of reprisal.

How do you thing ole J. Edgar would have done on a "lifestyle poly"

George,

You are absolutely correct! J. Edgar would have never been subjected to a polygraph test. It is also ironice that our National leaders will allow FBI, CIA, NSA, candidates, etc to be subjected to polygraph testing when they will never do so themselves.
