[QUOTE="Vik912, post: 15386432, member: 147686"] If this the job that you truly want, then don't give up! As another poster mentioned, it is very rare for a applicant to get hired on their first application in law enforcement. Regarding the polygraph... A polygraph cannot tell if you're lying or not, hence polygraph results are not admissible in court. There is no machine in this world that can tell if a person is lying or not. What a polygraph does is measure a number of things that usually occur within a person's body when they are lying, such as elevated heart rate, elevated breathing, blood pressure, sweating of hands, etc. There are people that can lie, and none of those symptoms show. Then there are people that just naturally show all of those symptoms when they are under stress, even though they might be telling the truth. In most cases a polygraph examiners job is to evaluate any "signs of deception" that the machine reads and then discuss those issues with you. Many polygraph examiners will then retest you in the specific area or areas that you showed signs of deception. Some people show signs of deception because they really are lying, while others show signs because they feel guilty about it, or are just plain nervous. It is up to the polygraph examiner to determine which one it is. If the examiner cannot determine, they cannot pass you. So it's in your best interest to tell them every little detail that might be on your mind, no matter how minor you think it might be. Let the polygraph examiner decided if it's important or not. Again, if law enforcement is what you truly want to do, then don't give up! Take this as a learning experience, and use it to improve yourself as an applicant. Good luck to you! [/QUOTE]
