Answered yes to all appropriate questions. Have I ver smoked weed. Yes. Have I ever used illegal steroids. No. I've never pinned AAS and only have ran OTC legal Ph/DS cycles. If you don't have confidence in your answer and the ability to control your breathing/ heart rate, that's how it detects lies. Actually very easy to beat if you practice. Free you answer yes to a question about steroids or drugs, you will then be asked the last time you used them. I answered I smoked weed twice when I was 16-17 as haven't touched it since. The longer your answer, the more stress you out yourself under = chances of failing a questions more easily. Short simple to the point, and always truthful answers will set you up for success. The ability to pass means you will be a trustworthy LE official and have the ability to be in biased with reports and investigations on calls, traffic stops, searches etc. lie purposely and fail a question, you will not be called back for follow up physical, PT test or written test. Polygraph should be one of the first tests ran, this allows to also be cost efficient by weeding out people who have a higher chance of failing other portions. Hope my info help. Just my first hand exp and all depts are different to some degree. Once you get on a dept, juice all you want. You will be warned ahead of time of any possible drug tests. It's a family once you get off of new guy status and price yourself. Unless you have a dick LT, Capt or chief..... This then changes everything hahaha
