Spectrum Polygraph Services provides professional pre-employment polygraph examinations for out-of-state police departments, sheriff’s offices, and other law enforcement agencies with applicants located in Southern California.
When your department is recruiting an applicant who lives in California, arranging a pre-employment polygraph examination can create additional travel expenses, scheduling difficulties, and delays in the background investigation process.
We work directly with law enforcement background investigators and recruiting personnel to coordinate examinations, review agency requirements, and provide professional written reports.
Pre-Employment Polygraph Services for Police Departments Nationwide
Police departments throughout the United States frequently recruit candidates who live outside their jurisdictions.
Some applicants may be relocating to accept a law enforcement position, while others may be participating in hiring processes with several agencies in different states.
When an applicant resides in Southern California, an out-of-state department may need a qualified polygraph examiner to conduct the examination locally.
Spectrum Polygraph Services works with requesting agencies to provide professional pre-employment polygraph examinations as part of their applicant background investigation process.
Our services are available to:
- Municipal police departments
- County sheriff’s offices
- State and local law enforcement agencies
- Tribal police departments
- Corrections and detention agencies
- Public safety agencies requiring pre-employment screening
Each examination is coordinated according to the requesting agency’s needs, applicable requirements, and the scope of the examination.
Step-by-Step
Step 1: Agency Consultation
A representative from the requesting law enforcement agency contacts Spectrum Polygraph Services to discuss the applicant’s location, anticipated examination date, screening requirements, and reporting expectations.
Step 2: Applicant Scheduling
We coordinate an appointment with the applicant at our Hacienda Heights office.
Evening and weekend appointments are available, making scheduling more convenient for applicants who work or attend school.
Step 3: Background Information and Agency Requirements
Before the examination, the requesting agency may provide its background questionnaire, applicant disclosures, examination instructions, or other authorized materials relevant to the screening process.
We review the information to prepare for the examination.
Step 4: Pre-Test Interview
The examiner conducts a comprehensive pre-test interview with the applicant.
The examination procedure, relevant background information, and test questions are reviewed before data collection begins.
The applicant has an opportunity to clarify responses and discuss relevant information during the pre-test process.
Step 5: Polygraph Examination
The examiner conducts the polygraph examination using professional instrumentation and an appropriate examination technique.
A law enforcement pre-employment examination generally requires approximately two to four hours, depending on the applicant’s background, disclosures, and examination requirements.
Step 6: Examination Report
After the examination, the results are analyzed and documented.
A professional written report is provided to the requesting agency’s authorized representative in accordance with the agreed reporting procedures.
