Training
Private polygraph examiners who were not trained federally may have attended any number of
polygraph schools across the country which may only meet the minimum standards and offer
second-rate training. Similarly, these local schools may not have received the approval of the
American Polygraph Association (APA).
Dr. Beyer and Mr. FitzGerald are both graduates of the National Center for Credibility
Assessment (NCCA), the country’s premier polygraph training facility. As opposed to some of
the mediocre polygraph training facilities which teach only the most basic level of polygraph
instruction and techniques, Dr. Beyer and Mr. FitzGerald attended the nearly four-month
training regimen of graduate level instruction provided at the NCCA. Furthermore, Dr. Beyer
and Mr. FitzGerald were subjected to a year-long internship period at the Federal Bureau of
Investigation where they were supervised by senior polygraph examiners before being certified
as FBI Polygraph Examiners.
By hiring Federal Polygraph Investigations, you can be assured that you are receiving the best
and most professional polygraph testing experience from the most educated, highly trained,
and experienced examiners in the State of Michigan.
Suitability of Polygraph Students
Some polygraph training facilities do not require their students to have a degree from an
accredited college or university. Similarly, they may not require their students to have any
experience with interviewing or interrogation prior to their selection.
As graduates of the National Center for Credibility Assessment (NCCA), Dr. Beyer and Mr.
FitzGerald were employed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as Special Agents prior to
their selection. Dr. Beyer possesses a Bachelor’s Degree, two Master’s Degrees, and a Ph.D.
while Mr. FitzGerald possesses a Bachelor’s Degree and a J.D. In addition, they were both
subjected to a thorough background investigation, and were required to pass a federal
polygraph examination before attending the federal polygraph school.
By hiring Federal Polygraph Investigations, you can be assured that you will be tested by the
most highly-trained and experienced polygraph professionals in the State of Michigan.
Experience
Many private polygraph examiners are local law enforcement officers whose experience was
limited to the municipalities for which they worked. As a 27-year veteran of the FBI, Dr. Beyer
has worked a wide array of investigations to include White Collar Crime, Violent Crime, and
National Security investigations. As a 21-year veteran of the FBI, Mr. FitzGerald worked a broad
spectrum of complex investigations, including white-collar crime, public corruption, civil
rights, and national security threats.
Dr. Beyer began administering polygraph examinations in 2005 with the FBI and has
administered thousands of tests across the State of Michigan, across the country, and even
internationally. Similarly, Mr. FitzGerald began administering polygraph examinations with the
FBI in 2011 and has administered thousands of examinations across the State of Michigan and
across the United States. While employed with the FBI, both Dr. Beyer and Mr. FitzGerald have
also conducted numerous types of polygraph examinations to include criminal tests, terrorism
tests, espionage and counterterrorism tests, pre-employment screenings, national security
screenings, and witness security tests.
Dr. Beyer is a member of the American Association of Police Polygraphists (AAPP) and the
American Polygraph Association (APA) and Mr. FitzGerald is a member of the American
Polygraph Association.
By hiring Federal Polygraph Investigations, you can feel confident that you are being tested by a
