	I'm interested in having a career in LE. I've read a little bit of "The Lie Behind the Lie Detector", and I was interested about the part where I can say that I'm educated on Polygraphs and that I know all the countermeasures. I read the example where I can be "waived", OR they will go through with the test and (Of course) say I used countermeasures and fail me. My question is, should I even take the chance with telling them that I'm educated about polygraphs and everything? Is there a good chance that I'll be "waived" and not have to take it? Or should I just stick with countermeasures to make sure I don't get caught or get in trouble? Any help or information on this would be great. I really wanna be a cop. But I don't want to get too nervous or whatever and get DQed and then never be able to be a cop again. Thanks!

They will use it against you. Just look at the some of the arrogant and egotistical posts polygraphers have made here. The worst thing you could do is tell them you know all about the polygraph and what a sham it is! If asked, just tell them all you know is what you've seen on TV. That it is very accurate. If they falsely claim the machine is indicating you are lying, or bothered, and ask you why, convince them you believe that and are trying hard to think, but just can't come up with any reason why the machine would indicate that. Stick to it, even if it takes hours or days. TC

	In Connecticut passing a polygraph is a statutory requirement for attending the police academy. If you don't pass one you can't get into the academy, cannot get certification as a police officer, and will never hold a state or municipal law enforcement job in Connecticut. Polygraphs are never "waived" in CT with regards to police applicants.
