Polygraph Examinations
|
Present-day polygraph instruments simultaneously monitor, record and analyze respiratory patterns, sweat gland activity, cardiovascular function and body movement so that the examiner can determine if the subject has any physiological responses associated with dishonesty. The data is used by the examiner to form an expert opinion as to the probability of the examinee’s truthfulness or deception concerning the relevant questions asked during the polygraph examination.
Polygraph examination results can be used to aid in hiring decisions, enhance conditions of supervised release, facilitate dismissals, plea negotiations, and formulate trial strategies. Polygraph admissibility in court varies by jurisdiction; however, polygraph results are generally allowed through stipulation. Inquiry Solutions, LLC polygraph examiners are licensed, and all maintain membership in the American Polygraph Association. Additionally, certain examiners are affiliated with other professional associations, like the American Association of Police Polygraphists and the Missouri Polygraph Association. |
