    Have you ever stolen something?

    Have you ever paid for sex?

    Have you ever had sexual relations with someone under the age of 18?

    Is there anything that you do not want us to know about?

    etc

    the questions will cover:

    Sex Crimes

    Property Crimes

    Drugs

    Background Packet honesty.

    etc

    Have you ever committed an unlawful sex act?

    (my personal favorite which allowed me the opportunity to take yet another polygraph that was "sex specific")

    Here is one question they will ask you.
    Have you ever gone on the Internet looking for research on how to beat a polygraph.

    The above answers about cover it.

    Here are some more of the things they will ask (I'm probably not supposed to post these). The interviewer likes to mix them up, though, so you may not be asked all of them. If you get a wrong answer, you will be flung into a deep crevasse, so be careful:

    What is your name?

    What is your quest?

    What is your favorite color?

    What is the capital of Assyria?

    What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

    :D

    Not all precincts have to take them? Well the only question I should have a problem with is the stealing, I have stole a few things, the most exspensive being a knife, other than that just a few kit kat bars and a pack of batteries. Also I have smoked weed a few times. Do you guys think this will hurt me too much? Also I plan on being an officer in Detroit if anyone knows anything about how things are done in that particular city.

    Thank you.

    Have you ever had sex with an animal? I am absolutely serious about this one. It knocks out a lot of our applicants and we aren't even in West by God Virginia.

    Now mind you I've never taken a polygraph, this is just what I've heard:

    1.How do they cram all that graham?

    2.What would you do for a Klondike bar?

    3.How many licks does it take to get to the center of a lollipop?:D

    But seriously, if you're looking to get on with Detroit PD I don't think they require a polygraph. But I don't know if they are hiring right now.
