Polygraph Examiners Of America (http://www.peoa.us/) has 200 websites bringing work to its members nationwide and in Canada & Mexico. Usually, this brings about 20 to 30 exam requests per day. However, on a recent day, 57 requests for lie-detector tests came in.
No other polygraph organization, association, or network brings a flood of possible work to its members-- only PEOA does!

Reid Tip--- To Lie or Not to Lie: The Use of Deception During An Interrogation
To Lie or Not to Lie: The Use of Deception During An Interrogation
If the agents involved in the recent Colombia incident are interrogated, should the investigators tell them they have evidence that they don't really have? It depends on a number of considerations.
Earlier this year a case was reported in which a detective doctored a crime lab report to use as a prop during an interrogation. While the suspect did not confess, the detective's tactics spurred legal questions regarding the use of deception during an interrogation. The legal twist was that even though the report used as an interrogation prop was manufactured by the investigator, it was based on factual verbal information provided by the crime lab. In other words, the manufactured evidence contained truthful information that incriminated the suspect but the report was not a bona fide report from the crime lab.
Legal Considerations
The legal test for deceptive practices during an interrogation has remain unchanged for more than 40 years. The use of deception during an interrogation must be considered within the totality of circumstances when deciding the admissibility of a confession. Deception that shocks the conscience of the court or community will generally result in a suppressed confession. An example of deception that "shocks the conscience" is lying to the suspect about the possible consequences he faces, e.g., telling a homicide suspect that the legislature just dropped first degree murder to a misdemeanor. Similarly, an investigator who elicits a confession after falsely telling the suspect that he is his court appointed public defender has "shocked the conscience".

Two recent polygraph examiner mistakes would not have occurred had they attended PEOA refresher training
1. An analog-using examiner (but not a PEOA member) told a TV producer that he could handle their 2 days of televised exams that required a computerized polygraph instrument. Quickly obtaining a computerized instrument and not knowing it well, he fumbled badly. He was dismissed after a few hours on the first day, and was told he wasn't needed. A PEOA-referred examiner finished that first day of exams and also those of the entire second day, and the PEOA examiner's exams were televised.
2. In a recent court case, a polygraph examiner (but not a PEOA member) was found to have not been following Federal polygraph training, instead using words in questions that were not proper to use. Federal training tells of why not to use these words, as they will likely cause false-positive scores.
