Featured method

Successive hurdles: two instruments, one issue, one report.

We open with a computer-scored EyeDetect or EyeDetect+ screen. If a question remains, we run a traditional polygraph on that single issue—and deliver one written report. This pairing is how attorney-directed cases, voluntary personal matters, and qualifying public-safety exams are often structured here.

We do not use successive hurdles—or any exam—for private-employer hiring in Connecticut.

How successive hurdles works

Specialized areas of testing

Audiences we work with—and the limits that apply.

Criminal defense

Attorney-directed exams for case preparation and client counseling. In Connecticut, polygraph evidence is per se inadmissible in trial courts under State v. Porter. Results are not a substitute for admissible trial evidence.

Spouses & partners

Voluntary personal exams only. The examinee must consent. Successive hurdles can be used when both a computer-scored first pass and a focused polygraph on one remaining issue are appropriate.

Immigration

Credibility exams when counsel or the individual needs an additional data point for an immigration-related matter. Testing capability in over 40 languages is available for multilingual examinees.

Public safety hiring

Police-candidate polygraph exams only when run by a POST-C certified examiner. At this practice, James Streifel is the POST-C examiner for those police-candidate exams. Gary and Trish are not on that list. Qualifying public-safety exams may use successive hurdles where appropriate.

Attorneys

Counsel-directed credibility exams for litigation strategy and client counseling—not for private-employer hiring screens in Connecticut. Successive hurdles (two instruments, one remaining issue, one report) is often a fit for attorney-directed matters.

Private investigators

Discreet exams that support investigative casework when a voluntary examinee consents. Protocols can include EyeDetect, EyeDetect+, traditional polygraph, or successive hurdles depending on the question set.
