Is my LE career ruined?

[T.M. Cullen]

He didn't give me the opportunity to talk about things and work through things with me.  I WANTED to because I knew how important it was for me to do that in order to pass.

THINKING and TALKING too much is what makes people FAIL!

Did you believe the polygraph was capable of detecting lies before you took the test?

mls10  a polygragh can ruin your life.  I know they can follow you for the rest of your life.  I believe they are communist tactics, especailly were employment is concerned.  Best of luck to you!

Hello all,

I am new here and apologize if this was posted in the wrong area. I have similar fears as this thread title indicates.

I have gone through the FBI process that lead up to me attempting to take a polygraph exam. While trying to come clean and have a completely clear conscience, I have disclosed some things on my SF-86 and some more things with the polygraph interviewer. As result, I had not even been strapped to the machine. I was asked to sign a statement that would be sent to headquarters for review. Later, my contnigent offer of employment had been rescinded due my "personal conduct".

As I understand it, my official BI has not been initiated. However I would like to know if any adjudicative files, my sf-86 that was filled out, or any further statements or notes are now going to be visible for any future BI, or re-investigations. Can they be pulled from a National Agency check, Scatted Castles check, OPM check, etc.?

Any advice or information would be useful. I'm not looking to be deceptive in the future, however knowing if I should wait for someone to tell me I have a problem instead of asking someone at work if I have a problem and trying to rectify it with my current job would help me with my concerns. Any thoughts?

Thank you all for your time.

I can only speculate with regards to federal agencies, but when I do background investigations for my municipal police agency, one of the first things I do is obtain copies of the applicants previous applications to other agencies, and copies of the background investigation done at other agencies.

I imagine federal agencies do pretty much the same.
