As recently reported in the National Newspapers it has been suggested that counter terrorism operatives working for the UK govt will now be adding polygraph examinations (Lie Detector Test’s) to their armoury in their global fight against terrorism. I for one, have been lobbying for such practises to be implemented over the past decade.
As Sky News reported:
“Terrorists could be forced to take a lie detector test to prove they have reformed and are not planning another attack, the government has announced.”

The polygraph test has for sometime now already been assisting with other areas of crime prevention and sex offender rehabilitation for one has been a successful roll out. There have been numerous reports in the news of Sex offenders being returned to prison on the basis of further testing of which the Lie Detector Test has played a critical part of the process. In light of such a roll out I believe similarly that in the cases for counter terrorism it would be used as part of and not solely as the only method of interrogation. We are a little behind our partners in the United States when it comes to the roll out of such methods as they have been using the polygraph test in National policing for well over 20 years.
As part of the Sky News report, they had interviewed Justice Secretary Robert Buckland who had confirmed that “Lie Detector tests were important to identify terror offenders” and that in particular with the case of Usman Khan (London Bridge attacker) he was indeed a ‘sleeper’ for many years. He had been released half way through his sentence and in effect disappeared of the terrorism radar and then resurfaced when he carried out the attacks. It is at the critical point of when they are under consideration for release that the Lie Detector Test would be most beneficial.
Our company, Lie Detector Test UK Services is focused on private testing which is available for the general public and commercial businesses alike. Our testing services range from private infidelity, sexual contact, theft and false accusations cases to wider employee fraud and complex cases. The tests that we carry out are conducted by a skilled and experienced polygraph examiner and we use the latest modern techniques and equipment. All of our examiners take part in CPD (Continual Personal Development) Training to make sure they are using and familiar with the latest techniques. We are also accredited with the American Polygraph Association (The World’s leading body) and the UK Polygraph Association on which I myself am the chairman of.
Our services are conducted countrywide and on a daily basis and we have a network of controlled locations available across the United Kingdom. In a given week, our examiners could be testing in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Cardiff simultaneously whilst delivering our services over the weekend and evenings also. The nature of our work is always strictly confidential and you will not notice it as we travel in unmarked vehicles and our locations are discreet and private to protect the privacy of our clients.
We always ask potential clients to be wary of bogus/unqualified examiners that unfortunately exist in the online marketplace. In any case when you book a test or are making an initial enquiry make sure that you know you’re dealing with an actual person and not an agency simply farming out the work to a sub standard examiner. If the website does not reflect actual footage or photos of the examiner(s) then you should be slightly dubious. There are also recent reports in the market of some companies emerging which offer a test for as little as £185 and this should raise alarm bells as it is not possible to purchase the time and full testing capabilities of a trained examiner for that amount. The test prices for a qualified examiner tend to average at £495 and this is because of the time and level of service required to deliver an accurate test. If you have doubts about an examiner or in particular want to be sure you are in the right place before you ask someone to handle your private life and potential future then please feel free to drop us a call on 0203 9651755.
