Who Can Require a Pre-employment Polygraph

Under the Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA), most private employers are prohibited from requiring polygraph tests as a condition of employment. However, there are specific exemptions that allow certain organizations to utilize polygraph examinations during the hiring process.

Public Sector Exemptions

Federal, state, and local government agencies may legally require polygraph testing for applicants in roles involving public safety, national security, or sensitive information. These include:

Law Enforcement Agencies (e.g., police departments, sheriff’s offices)
Intelligence and Security Organizations (e.g., FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA)
Corrections and Probation Departments
Emergency Services (e.g., 911 dispatchers, EMTs)

Private Sector Exceptions

Certain private employers are also permitted to use polygraph testing under EPPA exemptions, particularly in high-security or controlled substance environments:

Security Firms (e.g., armored transport, alarm system providers, private guard services)
Pharmaceutical Companies involved in the manufacture, distribution, or dispensing of controlled substances

At Cross Point Solutions LLC, we ensure all polygraph services are conducted in full compliance with EPPA regulations and tailored to the legal and operational needs of your organization.
