Admissibility in Minnesota courts

Minnesota courts exclude polygraph evidence in criminal trials under established case law. Polygraphs are used in probation, sex offender treatment, and certain civil contexts.

Workplace polygraph law (EPPA)

Federal EPPA applies. Minnesota has additional state-level protections under Minn. Stat. §181.75 that further restrict employer use of polygraph testing.

Booking Through Us vs. Finding an Examiner on Your Own

On your own

  • You must confirm the training school is genuinely APA-accredited — many “certificates” come from unaccredited courses.
  • You must check that memberships are real and have not lapsed.
  • Few people think to ask about professional liability insurance.
  • A sole operator often has no published standards and no complaints route.
  • You may pay in full for a test your situation is not suitable for.

Booking through us

  • Training, accreditation, and credentials already verified.
  • Memberships checked and kept current.
  • Professional liability insurance in place.
  • Published Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice, and complaints procedure.
  • Every case reviewed first — if it’s unsuitable, your $100 deposit is refunded in full.
