Our Society is of interest to highly trained, qualified and accredited polygraph examiners, those associated with the deception detection industry and private individuals.
All of our members are committed to providing a valid and accurate means to verify the truth and establish the highest standards of ethical, professional and moral conduct in the polygraph field. We are the only association that provides approved advanced training for our members, ensuring they are the best in the field.
