"All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them."

Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642)

We are a service driven company and believe in excellence through experience. Our

Management team and employees are handpicked specialists and dedicated to always going

the extra mile. We are renowned for our success rate and consistency of reliable results.

We currently have three examination rooms which are all under camera surveillance. All

Polygraph examinations can be viewed from our control room with prior arrangement.

Polygraph Examination results, (charts) are scored by the computer and manually by the

Examiner. As per standard procedures all results are reviewed by three of our Polygraphists

and confirmed by Mr Alan Fourie before submission.

We are at present setting up a computerised system whereby we will have access to our

Associates who will be able to witness examinations, in as far as America, while the

examinations are in progress. This option will ensure we make use of all our Associates

experience and opinions.

On a daily basis our firm services are utilized by businesses and private individuals to

administer polygraph examinations. When a specific and identifiable incident occurs,

( theft, fraud, assault, stock and vehicle loss, etc.). The polygraph technique is the most

effective means available to determine the credibility of a person's statements.

The procedures of a polygraph examination are:

A personal conference or telephone discussion where the polygraph examiner obtains the

case background information.

A pretest interview with the subject which generally lasts 45 minutes, during which the

examiner discusses the issue under investigation, thoroughly reviews all of the test

questions that will be asked during the examination, and assesses the individual's emotional

and physiological suitability to take the test.

A series of 4 to 6 tests, during which the subject's physiological responses are recorded as

they answer a set of pre-established questions concerning the issue under investigation; and,

The examiner shall not render a final opinion based on chart analysis, until the examinee has

had a reasonable opportunity to explain any reactions to pertinent questions.

A review and interpretation of the polygraph charts, from which the examiner will reach one of

three conclusions - that the subject is telling the truth; that the subject is not telling the truth;

or, that the results are inconclusive.

Upon completion of the examination a verbal report will be given to the client, followed by a

written report which will provide a list of the relevant test questions, the subject's answers,

and the examiner's opinion as to the subject's truthfulness or deception.
