Hey everyone I am new to the site and I have a few question if you guys would like to help me out.  I applied for the LA county Sheriff's Dept. and i had to take a polygraph.  Well one turned to two and then i took my third.  The first said i failed the alcohol question the second said i failed the narcotics question and the third said that i failed the narcotics substance specific but the third polygraph examiner story just doesn't add up in so many elements.  In, what i know is called the "Post Interrogation" they tried to get me to change my answer but i told the truth and stuck with it all three times without change and signing a statement saying i wouldn't change my statement regardless of the results.  I really was telling the truth but the last guy called me a liar right to my face.

What's the deal, I mean am i going to have to take another one or was the third one bluffing on whether i passed or not and i am just going to get a call from my investigator saying to move on to the next step???????????????

"was the third one bluffing"

They were all bluffing.

The best way to pass a pre-employment poly -- in addition to the excellent advice in TLBTLD -- is to be a strong candidate in every other phase, avoid irking or annoying anyone already working there, and to get someone on the inside to want to hire you.  Then they and the hiring managers will tell the polygrapher to go pound sand.

This is just a wild guess, but maybe the multiple tests offered to you are an indication that this is what is happening.  If they didn't want you, they would have discarded your candidacy after the first questionable poly.
