I have just taken the Civil Service Exam for the local PD and the physical portion and currently ranked second on the list. Afterwards we get the background investigation packet and a pre-polygraph packets with about 200 yes or no questions. I seem to have answered yes to about 15 of them but they were all when I was younger (like 12-13) such as switching price tags on items, or making prank phone calls. My main question is when I turn that in with the application is the polygrapher going to focus on the questions I answered yes to, or just a variety. I have taken a polygraph before for dispatch (but there was no packet involved) and was not passed and was accussed of being an alcoholic drug dealer (which I drink very infrequently and have never touched drugs in my life). Just trying to get an idea. I know all the secrets can't be revealed, but any help would be appreciated.![]()
