Event Specific Examinations
APG assists any level of local – or international client to investigate event-specific incidents.
This entails that an event – usually of a criminal nature – took place, where the client decision makers have a vested interest in knowing if a suspected person is involved in the event.
Polygraph testing is used for three main purposes: event-specific investigations (e.g., after a crime); employee screening, and pre-employment screening.
The different uses involve the search for different kinds of information and have different implications.
A question asked about a specific incident (e.g., “Did you see the victim this last Monday ” or “Did you take the money from the safe?”) often has little ambiguity, so it is clear what facts provide the criterion for a truthful answer.
APG also provides the following scope of criminal examinations:
- Molestation / sex offender
- Murder / Arson / Robbery
- Embezzlement / Theft
Parole/Probation Examinations
Clinical polygraph assessment of offenders about to be released on parole – or who are currently on parole, has proven to be a valuable monitoring tool for any country’s criminal justice system.
APG assists monitoring and compliance authorities by assuring that parolees are being truthful regarding adhering to their stipulated conditions of parole. Polygraph examinations also help maintain community safety by identifying re-offense activities, pre offense behaviors and compliance with treatment and supervision rules.
A regular program of polygraph examinations to establish truthfulness and monitor behavior while in treatment (as in the case of sex offenders) or on parole and under supervision increases the probability of a successful monitoring with the aim of re-integration into society.
Parolee examination entails verification that the subject has not reoffended whilst in treatment or on parole, as well as determination of any issues relating to parole, probation, or treatment to ascertain whether any violations of the guidelines have occurred.
