Trained sexual offended polygrapher

Mark & QuoteQuote Print Post  
My ex filed a complaint against me stating I inappropriately touch my child. It was investigated and it was unfounded and to be a false report. However Protective Services has ordered a sex offender evaluation which includes a polygraph.
They specifically stated “It is recommended that a polygraph be undertaken by a  Undecidedtrained sexual offender polygrapher”. •What is or how does one qualify as trained “trained sexual offended polygrapher”
•Are they required to be certified in the use of polygraph testing
•How do you verify they are certified
•I know of the Air Force Modified General Question Test (AFMGQT) is there other types of testing, specifically for sex offenders
Any help will be appreciated

If the investigation determined that the allegation was unfounded, which means it did not happen, and the matter was a false report, then there are no issues to test.  Tell them no!  

FYI, the correct term they are looking for is "sexual offender polygrapher."  To be "certified" in this area, one must attend a 40 hour course in this technique.  

I am no fan of Child Protective Services and the Department of Social Services as it has been my experience over more than two decades watching them work is that they routinely go off half-cocked. 

Just so you know, I am a polygrapher and I would not test you based upon the information you have provided because there is no issue to test. 

Good luck.

Who is,

I think yankeedog has addressed your questions quite well. I would just add that I think you should consult a lawyer with experience in family law regarding your situation in general and in particular, whether you can be compelled to submit to a lie detector test.

If you don't have a lawyer, Martindale's lawyer database might be helpful for finding one with appropriate expertise in your area:

If you are somehow compelled to submit to a polygraph interrogation, see The Lie Behind the Lie Detector (1 mb PDF) -- especially Chapter 3 -- for a foretaste of what you can expect.
