POLYGRAPH

 

What is polygraph?

It is a machine, which for more than 50 years has been used effectively by World renown companies, local security firms, police institutions and intelligence services to provide reliable and clear information. 

It has proved to be reliable in investigations and in gathering of intelligence.

How does the polygraph work?

It is based on reactions of the autonomic nervous system, those not under the conscious control of the person to whom the test is being administered. For example:

· Respiration rate

· Peristaltic action

· Pulse rate

· Blood pressure

· Galvanic skin response, (quantity of perspiration)

Which tests may be administered by a polygraph?

· Real things, legal and reliable

· Cases of espionage

· Criminal cases and larceny 

o Murders

o Robbery

o Kidnapping

o Larceny

o Asaltos

· If the suspect has knowledge of crimes

 

Time:

At A.S.I. a polygraph test lasts four hours and consists of:

· A personal interview

· A statement

· A polygraph test

The POLYGRAPH is based on sensors.

Blood pressure:

The blood pressure and pulse rate are affected by forces beyong the conscious control of the person being tested.

The pulse rate and blood pressure sensors put their information onto a sheet of paper.

Galvanic Skin Response, (GSR)

A natural product of lying is to perspire.

The G.S.R. is an electric circuit, which measures the amount of liquid present on the palm of the hand.

RESPIRATION RATE AND AUTONOMIC PHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS OF THE BODY

Respiration:

A sending unit placed on the chest measures the rate of respiration of the subject.

Internnal Reactions:

A sending unit placed on the thorax of the subject measures muscular flexion on the polygraph tape.

The reader:

All of the sensors collect data and send them to the polygraph unit.

Capacity:

The polygraph measures reactions, which are not under the conscious control of the subject.

A.S.I. uses Israeli techniques and a computerized polygraph allowing it to arrive at clear cut conclusions.

Characteristics:

· A.S.I. uses an AXCITON polygraph unit.

· It is authorized for use by the U.S. government and is used by the world’s principal intelligence services.

· The Software was developed by the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University.

· The polygraph gives six possible responses:

o NDI = No Deception Indicated

o PNDI = Probable No Deception Indicated

o UDI = Deception Undefined

o PDI = Probable Deception Indicated

o DI = Deception Indicated

o EDI = Extreme Deception Indicated

· Income

·  Personal expenses

· Investments

· People who economically depend on the subject

The process begins with a personal interview highlighting doubtful points, followed by a confirmation of the information provided. Finally, a visit is made to the home of the subject and a survey is taken of his neighborhood.

The report based on this information will help to clear up doubts related to the socioeconomic background of the subject.

Option C

PREVENTIVE INVESTIGATION

From this method, you will quickly and efficiently obtain general information about personnel to be hired. Additionally you will be equipped with a summary of any doubtful areas of a candidate.
