Hello,

I was told I was deceptive on a poly last year for a local LE job.  It was quite a shocker.  I'm no angel, but I told the interrogator everything I could think of, I'm sure I missed some things, but if I left anything out it was unintentional.  He said I was deceptive about the sex related question, and I showed signs of deception dealing with drug use and use of force.  I cannot figure out why the test would show deception, I have had almost a year to dwell on this.  Now, I'm looking to apply for job, I have been a police officer for over 10 years and I never wanted to be anything else.  Most jobs descriptions say there will be a poly.  This scares me because i have had one negative experience with a poly, will I be predisposed to having another negative experience.  Do the examiner's take into account of medications you are taking.  I have high blood pressure, my doctor put me on a beta-blocker because my blood pressure can be elevated quickly by stress.  My resting heart rate is between 52-55 bpm.  Because I was unprepared for the test, I had to be reminded to breathe normally, I thought I was.  Would any of these things cause my bad poly.  I'm grasping at straws here, I need and explanation

It seems as if I'm damned from the very beginning, anybody have positive results taking a second poly after being deemed deceptive in the first.
