Overview

Missouri's polygraph testing network spans the state's two major metropolitan areas — Kansas City in the west and St. Louis in the east — with additional coverage in between. Our examiners provide professional examinations in controlled-environment offices, serving the Show-Me State's diverse population.

A lie detector test in Missouri costs between $550 and $700 depending on location. All prices are all-inclusive — covering the booking fee, an examiner trained to APA standards, private office, pre-test assessment, full polygraph examination, and a detailed written report. Only a $100 refundable deposit is required to book: refunded in full if we can’t book you, deducted from your total once your appointment is confirmed.

Admissibility in Missouri courts

Missouri courts exclude polygraph evidence in criminal proceedings under established case law. Polygraphs are used in probation compliance and sex offender treatment programs. Stipulated polygraphs may be considered in limited civil contexts.

Workplace polygraph law (EPPA)

Federal EPPA applies to private employers. Missouri law enforcement agencies actively use polygraph for hiring and internal investigations.

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.
