Forensic Psychophysiology has become greatly improved over the years due to the application of scientific validation, coupled with the application of highly accurate and improved computerized systems and instrumentation. As such, it has become a very valuable tool for both investigative purposes, when used to cover multiple issues, as well as for diagnostic purposes, when used to focus on specific issues. Because of this, it has been increasingly recognized by various courts for its use in specific legal applications.

Our Polygraph Examinations are conducted from 90 to 120 minutes (or more, depending), and consist of the following segments:

A Pre-Test Interview (including test question review)
A Practice Test
The Polygraph Test, which includes the recording of 1 or more Polygraph Charts (as needed)
A Post-Test Interview
Final Test Results
A Written report

It should be noted that when an Examinee has a Significant Reaction (test failure) to a question or questions in a Multi-Issue exam, a Breakout Test can be performed for an additional cost. The Breakout Test is conducted on another day, and consists of one or more Single-Issue Exams. The purpose of the Breakout Exam is to determine whether or not the Examinee has been deceptive.

Because of the seriousness of those issues requiring polygraph testing, it is extremely important that an examiner be trained and competent, and use only high-caliber instruments and components. Some States do not require licensing or certification, so it is very important for a client to check on a potential polygrapher's qualifications, prior to making any payment for an examination.

A qualified polygrapher should be a graduate from an American Polygraph Association (APA) accredited polygraph program. The APA maintains lists of its members, and of all APA accredited polygraph programs. A properly certified examiner should also attend continuing education.
