Lie Detector Tests Near Me
“Lie detector tests” are called polygraph tests because the polygraph machine records multiple physiological responses simultaneously, such as heart rate and breathing. The term “polygraph” means “many writings” in Greek, reflecting the multiple data streams recorded during the test. This detailed recording helps our experts determine whether a subject is telling the truth or lying.
What can I use polygraph testing for?
Matrimonal/Cheating Partner
Does your partner have a history of cheating, or all the signs are there that they are currently cheating? Even when you have challenged them directly, you are still not convinced that they are telling the truth. Polygraph can be an alternative to surveillance (which we also specialise in).
Disputes
Disputes between family, friends, neighbours or even work colleagues. Where there is no tangible evidence to say who was right or wrong, polygraph testing can be the way to once and for all settle the matter, and help people move forward.
Employment Matters
There are myriad reasons why we have been used within the commercial sector. Theft, staff taking ‘sick days’ or meeting competitors. What about that outstanding CV that seems too good to be true? Or even screening potential employers beforehand? The list goes on.
Polygrapgh Testing with Dolos Investigations
Our Private Investigator will be able to read the results of the polygraph machine, which detects subtle changes in heart rate, breathing and with the facial mapping equipment – pupil dilation. This all leads to a highly accurate result. The industry standard to determine accurate results is 3 curated questions.

FAQs
A lie detector test, or polygraph test, measures physiological responses such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration to determine if a person is being truthful or deceptive during questioning.
During a lie detector test, sensors are attached to the individual’s body to monitor physiological responses. The examiner asks a series of questions while the polygraph records the body’s reactions. The results are then analyzed to assess the likelihood of deception.
Lie detector tests can be a useful tool in detecting deception, but they are not infallible. The accuracy of a polygraph test depends on various factors, including the examiner’s skill and the individual’s physiological responses. It’s important to consider the results as part of a broader investigative process.
It is best to approach a lie detector test honestly and naturally. Stress, anxiety, or trying to manipulate responses can affect the results. If you are nervous or have health conditions that may impact physiological responses, inform the examiner beforehand.
The admissibility of lie detector test results in court varies by jurisdiction. In some places, they may be used as supporting evidence but are not considered conclusive proof of truthfulness. It’s important to consult with legal professionals to understand how these results can be used in your specific case.
A typical lie detector test can last between 1 to 3 hours, including the pre-test interview, the actual testing, and the post-test analysis. The duration can vary based on the complexity of the questions and the individual’s responses.
Refusing to take a lie detector test may have implications depending on the context. In some situations, it may be viewed as a negative indicator, but it does not necessarily imply guilt. Discuss the potential consequences with the relevant parties or legal advisors.
Look for a licensed and certified polygraph examiner with relevant experience and professional credentials. Check reviews, ask for referrals, and ensure they adhere to industry standards and ethical practices.
