Using specialized equipment, polygraph examiners question individuals to detect deception or verify the truth of their statements. Polygraph examiners use approved instruments to record a subject’s cardiovascular and respiratory patterns, and may record other psychological changes. Polygraph examiners interpret the data recorded and prepare reports on their findings. They may be employed by police departments for specific criminal cases, which can result in appearances in court.
