In the world of polygraph examinations, professional integrity and trust are of utmost importance. It’s therefore profoundly disturbing when an individual in this field undermines these very principles by engaging in fraudulent behaviour. Today, we issue another fraud alert concerning Mike Rumble, a UK-based polygraph examiner, who has previously been in the spotlight for unprofessional conduct.
False Claims to Membership
Recently, it has come to light that Mr. Rumble falsely claimed membership of the American Association of Police Polygraphists (AAPA). The AAPA is a prestigious organisation that brings together law enforcement professionals from across the US to advance in the field of polygraph technology and training. It prides itself on maintaining the highest standards and ethics among its members.
In an alarming breach of trust, Mr. Rumble brazenly displayed the AAPA logo on his UK website, implying his association with the organisation. However, upon receiving complaints from genuine members and a subsequent investigation,AAPA President Adam Rembisz confirmed that Mr. Mike is not a member of the AAPA.
08/05/2022 – The image provides indisputable evidence of Mr. Mike Rumble’s unprofessional behaviour. This screenshot, taken from his website, shows the illicit use of the AAPA logo, implying a membership affiliation that never existed. It’s a clear misrepresentation that stands in stark contrast to the principles of honesty, transparency, and professional integrity expected from any individual involved in the polygraph testing field.
Note: This screenshot was captured before Mr. Rumble was compelled to remove the logo from his website after the intervention of AAPA’s President, Adam Rembisz.
Featured above is a screenshot from Mike Rumble’s website, after the AAPA President, Adam Rembisz, intervened. The conspicuous absence of the AAPA logo, which once falsely adorned the site, starkly underlines the fallout from such a misrepresentation. This shift reinforces the AAPA’s commitment to maintain its high standards and ensure an accurate representation of its membership. Let this serve as a stark reminder that any attempt at deception, no matter how cunningly executed, is eventually exposed.
A Breach of Public Trust
This revelation forced Mr. Rumble to remove the AAPA logo from his website on May 14, 2022. Such a manipulative act to gain public trust and professional credibility not only tarnishes his reputation but also raises grave concerns about his professional ethics. It’s hard to comprehend how a polygraph examiner – a professional who is expected to uphold truth and transparency – could knowingly mislead the public.
The Consequences of Unprofessional Behaviour
Unprofessional actions such as these not only discredit the individual involved but also cast a shadow over the entire polygraph examination profession. Professionals in this field are expected to uphold the highest standards of honesty and integrity. To pretend to be a member of a respected organisation like AAPA undermines the public’s trust in polygraph testing services, and damages the profession’s overall credibility.
It’s important to remember that such incidents are exceptions and not a reflection of the vast majority of polygraph examiners who work diligently, upholding ethical guidelines and maintaining transparency with the public.
A Call to Vigilance
In light of these revelations, we want to remind the public to be vigilant and verify the credentials of polygraph examiners. As we continue to uphold the standards of professional conduct in our field, we also urge other polygraph professionals to distance themselves from such unethical practices and reiterate their commitment to truth, trust, and integrity.
It is our hope that by bringing such incidents to light, we can maintain the integrity of the polygraph testing profession and protect the public from unprofessional behaviour. We will continue to closely watch this situation and uphold the values of honesty, respect, and professional integrity.
Before we conclude this article, we feel it’s essential to remind our readers of another incident that highlights Mike Rumble’s questionable professional behaviour. Not long ago, Mike Rumble (Michael Arthur Rumble) was involved in a copyright infringement case where he was accused of stealing content from the platform liedetectortest.com, an accusation that adds to the growing concerns about his professional conduct and ethics. For those interested in further understanding the extent of Mr. Rumble’s unprofessional behaviour, we encourage you to read the detailed account of the content theft case [here]
By shedding light on these issues, we hope to promote a culture of integrity and professionalism in the field of polygraph testing and safeguard our community against unethical practices.
