Press Release Summary: Except in strictly defined instances, employers cannot ensure
employee honesty utilizing polygraph services, and the results of lie detector
testing cannot be used in a court of law under most circumstances.

Press Release Body: But one Indianapolis based company insists there's a real and
valuable place for polygraph services and lie detector tests in the investigative
world.

BODY
It's generally understood that the use of lie detector results are strictly
regulated by the Federal government (known as the Employee Polygraph Protection Act
of 1988)-except for strictly pre-defined instances, employers cannot ensure employee
honesty through the use of polygraph services and lie detector tests. And to date,
no lie detector results are admissible in court. But that doesn't make lie detection
a useless science, says one Indianapolis-based investigative company.

"We routinely provide polygraph services and voice stress analysis in a variety of
personal matters, "says Tim Wilcox, President of Indianapolis-based International
Investigators, Inc. "While the results may not be admissible in court, lie detector
testing is a valuable tool which can be instrumental in shaping the direction of an
investigation."

Wilcox points to investigations involving marital infidelity and child custody as
perfect examples of intelligent uses for lie detector tests, including the avoidance
of testing as a possible indicator of suspicious activity. "If you've got nothing
to hide, you've got nothing to fear from a polygraph," Wilcox adds. "Parties from
both sides of suspected infidelity or custody disputes often find our polygraph
services helpful in either clearing one's name, or determining whether or not a full
investigation is necessary."

The staff at International Investigators has an extensive law enforcement
background-experience that help to produce effective lie detection tests and
actionable leads through careful interview techniques. This expertise is
particularly helpful in complicated investigations where subjects may only have
limited involvement in the matters being investigated.
