OK here is my unbeleiveable but true polygraph story for the month!I got a call New Years Day from the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office(About an hour and a half-two hour drive for me). They said they had a high profile,gang related homicide and needed a polygraph exam ASAP. I told them to call my Chief and get his approval and I would be happy to assist them.(Although I was dreading the drive).
After they got approval, they called me and asked where they could pick me up with their helicopter !! I told them my portable equipment was at my house and they said "where do you live?" I told them and they said "we'll be there in 20 minutes".
My house backs up to a school and park and sure enough, 20 minutes later they touched down outside my back yard.
I got on board and enjoyed a great flight through the wine country.
At the airport, they had a car and driver waiting and I went and (successfully)did the exam.
They took me back to the airport where I boarded the helicopter. Another tour of the wine country, a view of the traffic jam down below and they touched down again behind my house! Now that's service!
I'll bet that will never happen again in my career although I did give them my home number and said "call me anytime boys!
OK Sackett and Barry-Top that!
