Whether you want to become a police officer, state trooper, correctional officer or any other public safety career, you’ll have to pass the polygraph test before you are hired.
It is a fact that the entry level testing process for law enforcement applicants are way different from any private sector job.
Law enforcement jobs are the only careers that require a polygraph test before you are hired. Although research after research shows that the polygraph test isn’t reliable – law enforcement agencies around the country are still using it in their selection process.
Why?
I’m not sure why the polygraph exam is still being used after researchers have shown that it is not reliable. Some have suggested that passing the polygraph is a coin toss.
I disagree that passing the polygraph test is a coin toss. I believe that those candidates who prepare for the polygraph test in advance by looking over sample questions are more likely to pass than those who don’t.

According to Pass Your Polygraph ebook, not looking over questions of likely polygraph questions before you take the test can be the difference between pass or fail.
You see, the more you know about the polygraph test, and how it works – the better. Here are some sample questions below:
