The APA is the
largest professional organization for
polygraph examiners. Its members come from the private sector, law
enforcement, and government agencies. Its web site has information
about examiner training, ethical standards, and answers to common
questions about polygraph.
The AAPP
consists exclusively of polygraph examiners
who are employed
by law enforcement agencies. The web site includes standards of
polygraph
practice.
The Northwest
Polygraph Examiner's Association is one
of the largest
state or regional associations of polygraph examiners in the U.S. Its
members,
law enforcement and private, come primarily from Oregon and Washington,
but
examiners from Alaska, Idaho, Nevada, and Montana are also members.
The Journal of
Credibility Assessment includes
research, transcripts, and articles about matters of importance to
polygraph testing, including a legal resource page.
This commercial
site includes names and contact
information for examiners in selectable geographic areas. The listings
are submitted by
any interested examiner and do not necessarily represent a complete
list
of all examiners in a particular area. A message forum allows exchange
of questions and answers about polygraph.
This story is based on a Primetime segment that
aired in March 2006. Humble made several disastrous admissions,
including that he did not know of a single independent study that
showed that voice stress analysis works, and that he got his
"doctorate" from a strip mall diploma mill by doing Bible study. Since
then, his name has disappeared from the NITV company web site and
advertising. However, there has been no public claim that he actually
left his company.
This site has
nothing to do with polygraph, but polygraph examiner Jim Wygant does
have an interest in photography and has posted a few of his pictures.
