Anyone looking to clear their name regarding an accusation or criminal matter can benefit from a polygraph test. Polygraphs can be administered to individuals of any gender, sex, or race, as well as to those with medical conditions or disabilities, including pregnant women. Polygraph tests are also suitable for teens and young children who can clearly articulate facts right from wrong. Always seek an experienced, court-certified polygraph examiner for accurate and reliable results.

The polygraph examination and testing is all confidential. You or the person you request to take the polygraph will sign a Disclosure Authorization form allowing only those individuals you permit to have the information released too and no one else.

No one else will be permitted to know you have taken any examination or even arrived at the examination to take one. Unless you request it in written form at Executive Protection Group Polygraph Service.

The same client confidentiality laws that attorneys and doctors have with their clients and patients, Executive Protection Group Polygraph Service has with our clients.

At Executive Protection Group Polygraph Service, prompt delivery of results is our priority. Whether you take the polygraph test yourself or have someone else tested, David Goldberg ensures that you receive the results on the very same day.

Immediate closure is of utmost importance when it comes to polygraph tests, as it is the primary reason for seeking such examinations. Unlike other local polygraph businesses and examiners who shy away from delivering same-day results, we understand the significance of providing you with timely answers. We believe in minimizing your wait time and ensuring that you receive the conclusive results you seek without unnecessary delays.

The answer is always no. The examiner and person being tested will be in the examination room only. The person waiting for the other individual taking the test will wait in our conference room until the examination is over and then the results will be presented to both parties at the same time immediately after the examination.

Absolutely! Our experienced examiner will consistently rephrase the questions in a professional manner to address the specific concerns you wish to resolve and for the purpose of testing. In case you have previously undergone a test where the examiner did not allow you to present your own questions, we encourage you to visit Executive Protection Group for a comprehensive re-examination.

Furthermore, unlike other examiners who may have concerns about testing individuals on medication, Executive Protection Group Polygraph Service has no such reservations. We are fully prepared and capable of conducting polygraph tests regardless of whether you are taking medication or not. Your needs and circumstances are our top priority.

For a private matter, dress casually but neatly—relaxed yet presentable. The testing process can take up to three hours with an experienced examiner, so choose comfortable attire.

Dress professionally. If you want this job, make a strong impression—first impressions begin at your polygraph test. Arriving looking unprepared or unkempt, as if you just rolled out of bed, may be noted in your report as a lack of professionalism. While a full suit isn’t required, business attire is recommended for both men and women.

Always bring a valid ID, as well as any signed paperwork required by the agency. Arriving without ID will result in being sent home.

Absolutely not! As an experienced examiner, you can distinguish between nervous reactions and deceptive reactions. It's natural for everyone to feel nervous when taking a polygraph test. However, an experienced examiner knows how to help ease those nerves. That's why it is crucial to seek an experienced examiner for any important matter you want to get accurate results for, ensuring you don't receive incorrect outcomes.

There is no theoretical rationale or published research in the American Polygraph Association suggesting that any medication would result in erroneous faulty polygraph examination results.

Unlike other examiners who are hesitant to conduct tests on individuals taking medication, Executive Protection Group Polygraph Service has no such reservations. We are fully equipped to administer polygraph tests regardless of whether you are on medication or not.

Absolutely not! Executive Protection Group is the only polygraph service that is willing to conduct tests on pregnant women and individuals with medical conditions. Rest assured, the testing process will not cause any harm to the mother or unborn child. Other examiners in Virginia may have unwarranted concerns, but don't let your pregnancy hinder your quest for the truth. Some inexperienced examiners may wrongly claim that certain individuals, including pregnant women and those with medical conditions, cannot be tested. However, such statements are in violation of the American Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, which prohibits discrimination based on medical or disability status.

As a professional and expert examiner, David Goldberg has conducted thousands of tests, including for law enforcement and federal agencies, involving pregnant women, with no harm whatsoever. If you have an underlying medical condition but still require a polygraph, it is advisable to consult your doctor first and then visit Examiner David Goldberg at Executive Protection Group Polygraph Service. We are committed to resolving each individual's concerns and never engage in discriminatory practices like some others might.

Under no circumstances is a polygraph physically painful in any way. The only slight discomfort may come from the pressure of the blood pressure cuff.

Absolutely not. It is not safe for either the person undergoing the test or the professional examiner to conduct polygraph examinations in private residences. Moreover, when hiring an examiner, it is crucial to exercise caution and consider the potential risks involved. Allowing an examiner into your home poses uncertainties, as you may be unaware of their background or intentions. There is a possibility of encountering individuals with criminal records, sex offenders, or inexperienced examiners. It is advisable to prioritize safety and opt for reputable and secure locations for polygraph examinations.

Yes! The American Polygraph Association Conference training for examiners in 2017 and 2018, as well as the professional standards for examiners, stated that Fantasy Testing is the next big method for uncovering hidden information. (Sex offenders have fantasies, and if they are not tested correctly and accurately, they can manipulate the probationary system. Inexperienced examiners could potentially allow them to evade detection and, worse, commit offenses again.) This is why Fantasy testing, applicable to various issues, has been proven to be relevant and helpful in revealing concealed information related not to actions committed, but to the thoughts of an individual.

Absolutely! It is crucial to choose an experienced polygraph examiner with a minimum of 15 years of administering examinations. Look for high client ratings on reputable platforms like Google and recommendations from attorneys who have successfully resolved cases for their clients with the help of the examiner. It is also essential to select an examiner with a genuine background in law enforcement or criminal justice. Be cautious of examiners with limited experience and those who have only recently graduated from a polygraph school. Trust an examiner like David Goldberg from Executive Protection Group Polygraph Service, who has the necessary expertise, exceptional ratings, and years of experience in resolving client issues.

Absolutely, the answer is YES. When facing serious allegations or when hiring a polygraph examiner for such cases, it is crucial to choose someone with courtroom experience and Law Enforcement investigative background. Opting for an inexperienced examiner can potentially harm your case. In any profession, lack of experience can lead to difficulties, and polygraph testing is no exception. With Executive Protection Group Polygraph Service and Examiner David Goldberg, you can trust in their extensive courtroom experience and their strong relationships with attorneys and social service agencies. They have a proven track record of being the preferred choice for courtroom-experienced polygraph examinations. Don't take unnecessary risks with your case—choose a trusted and experienced examiner like Executive Protection Group.

No, there is no difference. In the early years, it was commonly called a 'lie detector,' but with modern advancements in technology, it’s now referred to as a 'polygraph test.' The terms mean the same thing; only the wording has changed.

As outlined by the United States Department of Labor, the Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) prohibits most private employers from using lie detector tests, either for pre-employment screening or during the course of employment. Employers generally may not require or request any employee or job applicant to take a lie detector test, or discharge, discipline, or discriminate against an employee or job applicant for refusing to take a test or for exercising other rights under the Act. Employers may not use or inquire about the results of a lie detector test or discharge or discriminate against an employee or job applicant on the basis of the results of a test, or for filing a complaint, or for participating in a proceeding under the Act. Subject to restrictions, the Act permits polygraph (a type of lie detector) tests to be administered to certain job applicants of security service firms (armored car, alarm, and guard) and of pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors and dispensers.

If the employee is currently employed and is working under me, as the employer, then EPPA guidelines apply.

2) Do I need to display a poster displayed at work for all of my employees to review the EPPA rules?

I must display a poster that shows the guidelines of the EPPA for all employees to see.

3) As an employer, do I have a loss or injury?

Can I document an ongoing investigation that will identify specific economic loss or injury to my company? Loss can be direct or indirect. Examples of direct loss are theft, embezzlement, misappropriation, and inventory shortage. An indirect loss would be money laundering.

4) As an employer, do I have a legitimate ongoing investigation?

Does my company have an internal ongoing investigation that is being conducted and will show a specific loss or injury?

(a) Does the person in question have access?

Does the employee who is being investigated have access to the target areas, objects missing, or equipment related to the loss or injury under investigation?

(b) Is there reasonable suspicion that a specific person committed the crime?

As an employer, I must be able to verbalize in detail reasonable suspicion, which has been determined through the ongoing investigation that will show why I, as an employer, suspect an employee of causing the loss or injury.

(c) Have I included all potential names of suspicious individuals on a list?

You, as the employer, shall provide to the polygraph examiner every potential suspicious individual on a list. This list should include all the employees who had access to the targeted site in question or any employee who knew of the loss or injury.
