Law Enforcement, Fire Department Pre-Employment Polygraph Applicant Screening

Police and Fire Department Chiefs

I would like to introduce myself. I am Ronnie Munoz retired Texas Department of Public Safety Polygraph Examiner.

I want to tell you about pre-employment polygraph screening.

The purpose of the pre-employment polygraph screening is to assist the background investigator to verify the applicant’s information on their employment application.

We realize that it would be a rarity for any applicant to not have any mistakes or personal indiscretions in their past, so what you have to do is place a high degree of value on their honesty and integrity in answering the application questions truthfully.

This is hard to do for many who have some type of wrong doings in their past that they do not want to disclose, especially those who are coming from another police department.

But how can one verify that information if the previous employer does not want to disclose it.

Or how can one know if the applicant has committed some type of criminal act and they are the only ones who know about it.

The pre-employment polygraph screening can help to reveal undetected criminal acts.

According to to the findings in the FAQ section of Polygraph.org, the APA Research Center at Michigan State Universtity conducted a survey of police executives in the U.S. to determine the extent of, and conditions in which polygraph testing was being used for pre-employment secreening.

This survery sample included 699 of the largests police agencies in the U.S. with a response rate of 90%. The major results of the survery showed that:

It was also mentioned that when agencies were asked to indicate what their reasons were for using polygraph screening, the great majority of the agencies indicated that it reveals information that cannot be obtained by other means.

Closely following was the belief that polygraph testing makes it easier to establish background information, it deters undesirable applicants, and it is faster than other methods of selection.

The three leading benefits of polygraph screening are that:

Applications were more honestly completed

Higher quality employees were hired

There are fewer undesirable employees
