If nothing is discovered in the process then the candidate “passes.” What the process suggests is that we do not select the best but deselect the worst.
There is an age-old problem that defies solution — what makes a good police officer and how do we define those characteristics?
Specifically in the selection process is candidates must take a polygraph examination. The purpose of the examination is to verify the employment application. There are those who argue that the polygraph is an invasion of privacy and since they are not admissible in court should not be used. Others, including all major law enforcement agencies from local to federal routinely use the polygraph for screening applicants.
