Keystone Polygraph Training is an entity who provides polygraph instruction to obtain certification in Post Conviction Sex Offender Testing (PCSOT). This training also provides 40 hours of continuing education credits for maintaining your polygraph certification. This training is approved by the American Polygraph Association.
If you are a current law enforcement examiner and are conducting polygraph examinations of sex offenders, this training is extremely beneficial. Polygraph examiners may be conducting Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) polygraph examinations, conducting sex offense investigations and conducting pre-employment polygraph examinations on law enforcement candidates. This training is valuable for current law enforcement conducting these examinations as it provides insight into these unique offenders and how to conduct comprehensive interviews to bring cases to conclusion.
