I read your posts and you ask some pretty good questions. Why don't you write your legislators and ask them about their federal polygraph policy? (IF) they answer and the answer is not to your liking, then why not campaign against them. They sure will not agree to be polygraphed to hold their jobs. While you're at it, ask them how they will/did vote on legislation that is taking this country down, i.e. Cap and Trade, socialized health care, NAFTA and the UN's:Law of the Sea Treaty. 

Join the movement to "FLIP THE CONGRESS"


I have written a letter to Senator Feinstein.  Unfortunately, I think not much will be accomplished because there is not enough political support to change things.  Although I am sure many people have been victimized by the polygraph, not enough speak out about it.  This website is a great venue and does a tremendous amount of good in providing accurate and timely information.  The only way I can see that the polygraph will be eliminated in the hiring process is by having enough political capital....what I mean is that you have to be able to convince legislators that it would be worthwhile and in their best interests to do so...and others have written on here about that ...anything I do is going to have to keep this in mind, otherwise no progress can be made.

The link for Florida agency's requirements that I originally posted is no good. Here is the last CJAP. 

http://www.fdle.state.fl.us/Content/CJST/Menu/Publications/test.aspx

To determine if an agency requires CVSA or polygraph, click on the type of agency (i.e., Police/Sheriff/School, etc.) and then click "Requirements and Pre-Requisites." A spreadsheet will open.

Departments that don't polygraph:

Washington, DC Metropolitan Police (NOT to be confused with Washington Area Metro Transit Authority who use CVSA)

US Park Police

TSA Federal Air Marshal Service


Federal Air Marshals dont poly? I always assumed they did

There aren't any LE agencies in Michigan that uses polygraphing in the application process.

Some posts on the net and on this site list DC Metro Police as not having a poly. A recruiter informed a friend of mine today that they do poly to his surprise.

They are using polygraph at this time, not sure when they began.

I'm wanting to say you can add Cleveland Police Department to the list, it doesn't mention anything about it on their website anyway. Can anyone confirm this?

My husband was let go from a PD and although he has passed 3 polys in the past now that he is looking for a new opportunity he has failed 2 polys. He is being truthful so we assume it is just stress that is causing this. Does he have any hope at passing one after failing 2? ANy advice would be appreciated!

AZ4344,

Our book, The Lie Behind the Lie Detector, includes information on how to reduce the risk of failing a polygraph "test":

https://antipolygraph.org/lie-behind-the-lie-detector.pdf

Chapters 3 and 4 will be of particular interest.

The new police chief in Memphis "failed" a CVSA that was checked by "lying Bill" of NITV when she was a police officer in Atlanta.  Therefore, I doubt she would allow any type of so-called lie detection equipment.
