Pre-Police employment polygraph?
Some police departments require candidates to take and pass a polygraph test, and some don't. The questions asked can depend. Questions can be about things such as drug use, theft, and anything on your application that might have raised concerns about your character. Make sure to be honest. Many things that people think will disqualify them sometimes won't. However, if a department believes that you lied or intentionally omitted information during your hiring process or background investigation, you won't be hired. Just relax and be honest. Getting police officer jobs is becoming more and more competitive. Continue to get the best grades that you can, and do whatever else you can to make yourself the best candidate that you can. Best of luck!
Can you be sent to jail by taking a police pre employment polygraph test? self incriminating yourself?
Hey Sal sounds like you aren't going to be a cop! Don't worry I was going to take one of those to help the Police exclude me from a homicide investigation, that involved my brother. Anyway I also have a checkered past and was getting a little anxious about the test. I talked to a lawyer, and he said don't take it because it left a shadow of doubt on the case against my bro. Anyway you can't be charged without real evidence but they may not like having a criminal in Blue. They may want you for undercover work, so don't puss-out tell the truth as long as its not too bad!
Pre-employment polygraph test in Georgia?
You should say something because based on my reading of the EPPA it is illegal to ask you to take a polygraph when you are applying for work. If they request one I would ask them to explain why they think it's legal to request it. If they tell you to pound sand, I would report them to the federal board of labor. _______________________________________... "If that want to make taking the test as a condition of employment they can." Wrong, moron. Go read the law. http://www.dol.gov/compliance/guide/eppa... <<
Pre-employment fbi polygraph testing?
They ask you about 120 questions while you are just sitting there-then judging by your reactions to those questions-they hook you up to the polygraph and ask you questions you hinted in some way you might not be entirely truthful in answering.
Employment Polygraph Test: Is it normal for my arm to go numb?
I recently took a polygraph test for employment with a Law Enforcement agency. During the test the arm that had the blood pressure cuff on it kept going numb. My test ended up as "inconclusive" and I may have to retake it. I was just wondering if the numbness is normal during the test, and if anyone else encountered that while they were being polygraphed?
What about the Grey area in polygraph exams for pre-employment?
If you are referring to the fact they are not always accurate, that explains why they are not admissible in court. They can be, however, allowed for employment screening because there is no legal burden of proof that needs to be met for an interview.
Are you required to take a polygraph test in order to become a police officer?
When I started in the 70s polygraphs were still admissable in court and were a required part of the pre-employment process. Additionally, those assigned to Special Investigations (Vice and Narcotics) were given polygraph's periodically and they were used in some Internal Affairs investigations when the officer was being accused of an offense that carried dismissal as a potential punishment.After polygraphs were ruled inadmissable in court, the practice started diminishing and during my second stint in SID in the late 80s, they were no longer being used on officers or suspects, but I don't know if our department still uses them for pre-employment screening. Personally, I'm not a fan as there are too many variables that can affect the results. At best, they register that your body reacted in a certain way to the situation, which may or may not be an indication of veracity. Simply being asked some questions/accused of something can be stressful and evoke similar responses. There is no substitute for good old fashioned investigative work and a polygraph should not be used as an alternative.
