Can we get an updated list going? I'm interested in pursuing a B.Sc. in forensics but have some minor (marijuana) use in my past, so I want to get a better feel for the current situation. Any help appreciated!

- Aug 22, 2012, 01:33 PMJoe, unfortunately just the reverse has happened, as the economy sinks deeper the number of applicants has multiplied and the poly has actually become much more prevalent and is used as an extra tool to eliminate candidates from the ever larger number. Even agencies that at one time were dead set against the poly now have signed on themselves. The truth is, it's a "test" that only works on the uninformed and naive. Currently, I'm on chapter 3 of TLBTLD, a great title that dispels the myths and falsehoods on which the poly depends to work. The whole point is to place one in front of a machine that one is led to believe can read minds, therefore you are most likely to be pressed into admitting to a number of disqualifying past transgressions. Do read the book and you will be more than prepared for it.

- Aug 22, 2012, 12:47 PMThis thread hasn't been updated in almost 7 years...anyone have information relevant to 2012? I would have to imagine since the economy imploded some LE agencies have dropped the poly due to budget cuts.

Here is the link to the Boston PD websitehttp://www.ci.boston.ma.us/police/default.asp
It appears that they do not poly. I don't know if you live there. If you don't you might as well forget about it. They have some pretty extreme requirements for employment in the dept. I have never seen that even here in good ol' CA.
Read it and be shocked

Washington DC Metro Transit Police does not poly, but uses the the even more insane CVSA.

Remember good people, Intercept is headed by Edward Gelb....

- May 09, 2004, 04:50 AMI'm new to the site and just scanning and learning, but do I understand pdity to be saying that there are no concerns with corruption, etc. with NYPD (I guess Serpico, Murphy, et al. lied) and the rest of the East coast. Pleeease!!!!! I guess there has never been a problem of that sort in Miami or New Orleans either. Let's get real here.

PAQ,
Yes SBPD does require a poly. Here is the link.

Don't be discourged by having to take a poly. You have been to this site and hopefully downloaded The Lie Behind The Lie Detector. You have the insight to "pass" the polygraph because you are aware of what it really is.
Don't let the poly prevent you from getting your LE job
Good Luck
