The Polygraph Institute

Our school provides the finest credibility assessment training in the world.  We offer basic and advanced polygraph and forensic interview courses to serve government, law enforcement and private security.  The basic polygraph examiner course emphasizes upgraded Backster formats, the Empirical Scoring System and the use of computer scoring tools for highly objective polygraph test results.  The forensic interview courses teach the use of a free narrative that helps identify evidence based cues for accurate evaluation of truth or deception.  Our behavioral intervention method focuses on transformational methods with the subject for greater information flow. 

Our graduates have a near 100% pass rates for state licensing exams, as well as achieving measurable success in the credibility assessment field.  Our school is accredited by the American Polygraph Association, and recognized by the American Association of Police Polygraphists.
