Answer any questions as if you were a boy scout. Unless of course we're talking federal jobs some of which will give you a lie detector test. By itself admitting to casual use won't keep you from getting a job, but it won't help.roland376 said:Allright i have a question. Is it possible to get a job or career in law enforcement If I've tried different controlled substances. Is it possible If I admit it to them if they ask me? Any law enforcement people here?

Yes. Each agency (local, state, federal) has a different "acceptable use policy." These policies deal with what you are allowed to have used, how many times, etc. Find out an agency's policy before applying.Is it possible to get a job or career in law enforcement If I've tried different controlled substances.

Well intentioned, but wrong. Any type of countermeasures that affects the entire "test" will not help you "pass." Effective polygraph countermeasures are those that can be used only during the control questions.take some Xanax before the lie detector...your so mellow the machine cant tell you’re lying.
In many areas, corrections does use the polygraph.become a Corrections Officer! There is no lie detector test!
Believe it or not, quite a number of fire departments polygraph as well.Ah, just go work for the Fire Dept!....
Thaibox, please cite a source for this one. I am not aware of any federal agency that uses CVSA. You are, however, correct that there is no way to manipulate the CVSA "test" into a passing result (this is rather easy with the polygraph). Fortunately, CVSA is used as a mere interrogation prop in most places. It is very rare for an agency to deny an applicant based on VSA results alone. The machine has not been shown more accurate than a coin flip in any study not done and paid for by the manufacturer.Some fed jobs require a VSA test which you cannot cheat.
