The Indiana State Police polygraph unit recently became the first polygraph accredited agency in the state. The certification was performed by the Polygraph Law Enforcement Accreditation (PLEA).

As part of the accreditation process, the ISP polygraph unit was subjected to an inspection and review of procedures and casework. The process includes the examination of every polygraph test being reviewed by another examiner before results are considered official.

“The PLEA accreditation demonstrates the ISP polygraph unit’s dedication, professionalism and service to all those we serve,” said First Sergeant Paul Hansard. “It would not have happened without the outstanding work performed daily by the men and women of the ISP polygraph unit.”

The polygraph unit is under the direction of ISP’s laboratory division. It is staffed by five regional examiners and one supervisor.
