Poly Format

[Mr_X]

Does anyone know the poly format for the DEA and CIA. Is it RI, PLCQT, DLCQT, etc...? What can I expect from these agencies polys? By the way, TLBTLD is very informative and great to read.

Both DEA and CIA use a probable-lie CQT as their primary polygraph screening technique. In some situations (for example, an examinee who admits to understanding polygraph procedure and countermeasures) they might use the relevant/irrelevant technique instead.

The specific technique used by DEA (and other federal law enforcement agencies) is the DoDPI Law Enforcement Pre-Employment Test (LEPET). The examiner's guide for the LEPET is available here:
