The human factor is the originator of deceit and escapes the scrutiny of many interviewers and screening instruments. However, the Polygraph’s forensically accurate technique measures the physiological and psychological responses of the candidate with immediate and spontaneous effect and records the absence or presence of deceit scientifically.
- Exclusive custom made Polygraph Examinations by a skilled and experienced Forensic Psychophysiologist
- This forensic tool is a face-saving mechanism that further reveals sensitive information that was previously deliberately withheld or minimized and not detected or verified during interviewing
