Examination Types
Civil/Criminal:
Attorney & Private Tests
The polygraph tests that we administer are discrete and confidential. Polygraph tests for Attorneys fall under the Attorney/ Client privilege rights. Lie detector tests are often used to validate testimony.
A lie detector test can also be used as a tool for negotiating settlements.
Workplace Investigations
We administer Polygraph Examinations according to the American Polygraph Association, and in accordance with EPPA.
What is EPPA?
On December 27, 1988, the Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) became law. This federal law established guidelines for polygraph testing and imposed restriction on most private employers. The following is a brief summary of the essential elements of the law.
Who is affected by EPPA?
This legislation only affects commercial businesses. Local, State and Federal governmental agencies (such as police departments) are not affected by the law, nor are public agencies, such as a school system or correctional institution. In addition, there are exemptions in EPPA for some commercial businesses. These are:
- Businesses under contract with the Federal Government involving specified activities (e.g., counterintelligence work).
- Businesses whose primary purpose consists of providing armored car services, Security Guards, Banks, Pharmacies, Government Employees, personnel involved in the design, or security personnel in facilities which have a significant impact on the health or safety of any state. Examples of these facilities would be a nuclear or electric power plant, public water works, or toxic waste disposal.
- Companies which manufacturer, distribute or dispense controlled substances.
Pre-Employment screening for:
EPPA – Employee Polygraph Protection Act
For pre-employment polygraph testing under EPPA, refer to the Act for exemptions. Even though an employer may be exempt and able to use pre-employment polygraph testing, the guidelines under EPPA still apply. Follow the Checklist for both the employer and examiner use, omitting the step for preparation of the employer’s statement with respect to an ongoing investigation, which would apply for specific testing only. ALL OTHER GUIDELINES WILL APPLY. Download and print work place poster PDF version here. Download the Notice to Examinee, Acknowledgment PDF form here.
