Polygraph for Security Companies
Security companies are permitted to have their applicants screened by polygraph prior to their employment.
• Screen potential employees
• Establish background information
• Deter undesirable applicants
The leading benefits of polygraph screening:
- Applications more honestly completed
- Higher quality employees hired
- Fewer undesirable employees overall
Polygraph screening can aid in:
- Revealing if an applicant has been involved in serious, undetected criminality;
- such as armed robberies
- burglaries
- arson
- drug offenses
Polygraph can aid in the detection of a specific incident of theft.
As an employer, you can request that an employee take a polygraph exam if that employee is reasonably suspected of involvement in a workplace incident that resulted in economic loss to the employer and that employee had access to the property that is the subject of the investigation.
