Professional Polygraph Examinations
A polygraph examination records a person's physiological responses while they answer a set of carefully prepared questions. People and organizations turn to polygraph testing when an important question has come down to one person's word: a loss inside a business, an accusation within a family or relationship, or a fact an investigation or legal matter depends on.
Strategic Investigations and Security arranges private polygraph testing in New York City as part of our investigative services. We start with a confidential consultation to understand your situation, explain what a polygraph examination can and cannot do, and help you decide whether it is the right step before anything is scheduled.
What a Polygraph Examination Involves
- A confidential consultation about the issue and the questions to be resolved
- Confirmation that the person being tested agrees to take the examination
- A pre-test interview that explains the process and reviews every question in advance
- Sensors that record breathing, cardiovascular activity and skin conductance
- The question series asked while responses are recorded, usually more than once
- Review of the recorded charts by the examiner
- A results discussion with you or the people you authorize
Who This Service Is For

- Businesses looking into a specific workplace loss or incident, where permitted by law
- Attorneys who want investigative polygraph testing as part of case preparation

Investigative Polygraph Testing With Investigators Behind It
Part of a wider investigation
A polygraph examination is one tool. When a case needs more, our investigators can add interviews, background research or surveillance under the same firm.
Clear questions, prepared in advance
Every question is discussed and reviewed before the examination, so the person being tested knows exactly what will be asked.
Honest guidance first
We explain what testing can and cannot tell you during the consultation, and we will tell you if a different approach would serve your case better.

What happens during a polygraph examination?
The examination begins with a pre-test interview in which the process is explained and every question is reviewed. Sensors then record breathing, cardiovascular activity and skin conductance while the questions are asked, usually more than once. The examiner reviews the recorded charts and the results are discussed with you or the people you authorize.
Can an employer require a pre-employment polygraph test?
Federal law prohibits most private employers from using polygraph tests for pre-employment screening, with limited exceptions for certain employers and situations. If you are considering pre-employment polygraph testing, we will discuss whether it may be appropriate during your consultation, and we recommend confirming your obligations with your attorney.
Do you work with attorneys?
Yes. Attorneys can arrange investigative polygraph testing as part of case preparation, alongside our other attorney and law firm support services. Whether results can be used in a legal matter depends on the court, the jurisdiction and the case, so your attorney should advise on that.
Is my polygraph consultation confidential?
Yes. Your consultation, the examination and the results are kept confidential and shared only with you or the people you authorize. We do not contact anyone about your matter without your permission.
Does the person being tested have to agree?
Yes. A polygraph examination is voluntary, and the person being tested must agree to take part. We confirm this before the examination is scheduled.
