I know what you are going through. I was out in LA 2 months ago and they said I failed both the poly and the psych test. I have been approved to retake both, but first I have to pass the psych to get my poly. Plus I was told that if you live out state that you can get it done in your home state. Well I sent them a letter with a name of a guy that does poly here (cause my state doesnt poly police officers) and they told I could not use him. They feel that I would get away with lieing having someone that knows me do the poly. I have never meet this guy before only spoken to him on the phone. The LAPD seems to be biting themselves in the ass with all the bullshit and hoops you have to jump through. Plus what did you score on your oarl test? That hold bid weight on your moving on.
