Failed poly for LVMPD (Read 5823 times)

	I took a polygraph for the LVMPD and was told that I failed one question on drug use. I told them Everything I did and still failed. Do I still have a chance of being hired or is my LE career over before it begun ? I was told that my B.I .went well. But the poly is what they really go by.

	I'm getting ready to go through the background and poly LVMPD next month. What can I expect? What was the examiner like? What other questions were on your poly? Thanks

	The polygraph examiner seems really friendly until they think you are lying. They do not interrogate you or ask you to make confessions or ask why are you may have responded to a question. They just tell you that you either passed or failed and send you on your way. The poly test has about ten questions. I really don't remember any of the questions verbatim on the poly. What I can tell you is they ask you about types of drugs used , how many times used , used any drugs within 3 years, any crimes you might have committed, nothing on theft. The question are really generic that's about it.

	Thanks for the reply! Any other info on your hiring process there would be great! I assume you passed your oral board to get to the poly...what was that like? I figure that if I go in well prepared that I will pass. About your poly, I don't think failing a poly at 1 dept. means that you automatically will DQ at another. I "failed" a CVSA 4 months ago, but I don't think it will affect my outcome with LVMPD...at least I hope not. There was one thing that came up...that wasn't illegal, and I wasn't even asked about it prior to the "interrogation". But it looked conflicting to them I guess...I dunno...just wasn't meant to be there I guess. But I've never used drugs, never have done anything illegal...so if that's all they're looking for in the poly, then I should be ok...again, I hope I look forward to hearing more about the process there though. Thanks a lot! -gibbons

	Your welcome. The oral board is really not that hard they ask you questions that are about policing. Guidelines are what would do if this happened? or how would you respond to this? Like for example , stealing while on duty or off you or your partner, responding to domestic calls , partner possibly intoxicated while on duty. I assume you passed one before if you made it to the CVSA. The only thing I didn't think I would pass was possibly the medical but boy was I surprised. Just remember that when you take the poly if you have any questions in your mind about time frames or are not clear on some questions asked. Stop and ask the examiner for clarification before the poly I wish I would of. I wish you luck you should do fine.
