He's applying to be a police dispatcher.

/me pats himself on back for detective skills

Hey Kroze, it gets even worse if you apply to be an Officer.

for the first interview.. i sat in front of the board :Q

4 members, a Leutenant (SP), sargeant, and 2 civilian that seemd to held a very high position....
 
they will talk to everyone you list, plus as a requirement for their investigation, they need to talk to X people you didnt list (but learned about through the others). well, at least for federal investigations...

as long as you didnt lie, nothing to be worried about

Been there, done that, except I didn't have civilians on my board--all Officers of varying ranks.

Do you have to take the poly for that?

You know, I've always wanted to take one of those...I have pretty decent biocontrol, so I want to see if I could fool it.

It's not fun, and after taking it I can say that I can't imagine anyone fooling it simply by attempting to control their own body.

the people that administer it are professionals and do them everyday. im inclined to think they can tell when you are controlling your responses rather than reacting normally. apparently there are methods out there that can fool the machine, but i declined to investigate any further than that.

you can control your bloodpressure and heart rate?

put a tack in your shoe, step on it when you are both lying and telling the truth and will screw up the whole thing.

But you won't fool the operator. And if you messed up the results you wouldn't get the job anyway. You need an overall average of truthfulness, not just inconclusive results.

Some polygraph operators will go so far as to have you take your shoes & socks off before the test, anyway.
