| - All I can say is if a job sends you here for a pre-employment polygraph, or if you need a polygraphist at all for that matter, do not come here!! I had to come here for a polygraph for an Adult Probation Officer position with Maricopa County. My appointment was at 3 and I got there at 245 as I was told to show up 15 minutes early. Didn't get greet until 315 and appointment didn't start until 330. As for the test, I will try and put it simply: two years prior to this polygraph I had taken two other ones with two different law enforcement agencies. I passed both of those and actually was hired by both agencies which obviously I only selected one agency to work for. I am still currently employed with said law enforcement agency so for me, taking this polygraph was cake. It was my third time and the first two clearly went very well. In the two years between my first two polygraphs and this one, my background did not change except for addresses I had lived at. All the major stuff that may be on a polygraph (drug use, criminal record, work discipline) had not changed as I was working for a law enforcement agency. Well after I took this polygraph, about 3 weeks later, I received an e-mail that my conditional offer had been revoked for the position. The e-mail cited either the polygraph, psychological test, or other detrimental information in my background arose as the reasons for revocation. Well, I hadn't taken the psych test, I know my background was good because I already passed the in-depth background investigation, so there was only one reason left which was the polygraph. This is a private contracted company Maricopa County uses, which can be good and bad. For me, the history of passing polygraphs speaks for itself. All of a sudden I couldn't pass this one? Now understand I wasn't specifically told I did not pass, but take this story for what you will. Common sense and logic say that it could not have been anything else except the polygraph. Read the reviews and go somewhere that may have either more credibility or a reputation for accuracy with polygraphs. After all, it is just a machine and a piece of technology that you cannot use in court. The results are read by someone who may interpret things as they wish.
