Item/Subject: Resolve, Appropriating $9,000 from Forfeiture Funds to Purchase a Polygraph
Machine
Responsible Departnant: Police
Commentary:
The Police Department is in the process of training a polygraph operator. While we have tried to
maintain two trained polygraph operators, it has been several years since that was possible.
Upon completion of the training, it will be necessary for the officer to conduct a series of exams
on age that well be evaluated by an Instructor and that will result in his final certification.
Our current equipment, while it is adequate for use by previously certified polygaphists, it does
not meet the requirements for new certification. Therefore we will need to update our currerd
instrument.
The estima ec! cost for a new instrument, including trading -in our current equipment, will be
$3,800. The current equipment is eight years old and would likely be replaced in the near future
due to ever changing technology. The attached resolve would appropriate Me necessary
funding to replace this equipment.
