My best friend just became a cop, he had to do a drug test (urine) as well as a polygraph for various things, apparently it can come up in the poly questions (aas) if its obvious, hes natty though.

It will come up. The polygraph test will ask you to detail any illegal activites you have been involved with, etc.

Depends on what town you are in they all do it differently. For example Some take hair samples other don't, some do blood, some do urine, some do both, most do polygraphs some don't. My buddy is a cop in Cook county in chicago he has done just about every drug under the sun and is clean now and he told me(because I'm thinkin about being a cop) they don't do polygraphs because it would devastate their applicant pool, no one in their right mind wants to work there so they will take anyone they can get.

It will come out on the polygraph but you need to upfront with them. Just be upfront with them on what you have done they know we are not perfect. Well some of us. hehe. Good luck. HB2

I wouldnt go by that advice. Lie, lie and lie some more. The moment you say a truth they dont like youre out. My friend said he had done weed before and he was immeidately out during the polygraph. This is in spite of the tester saying to be completely honest and not to worry he cannot get into any trouble. If he had lied and failed the polygraph he would have still been in. Polygraph tests are absolutely worthless, 90% of the time they dont tell crap. They are very subjective so the PD usually doesnt give them much credence. To sum up my advice, lie your ass off.

Since you ask that question let me pose back a question to make you think and answer the question yourself. If you took AS or Weed or anydrug for that matter in the past, and it is undetectable in your system right now. What exactly do you have to gain by telling the truth? Then flip it over, what do you have to gain by lying? Then once you write those two answers down compare them and you will have your answer.

i havnt ever had them ask about aas, only rec drugs, so dont bring it up less they do. as far as rec drugs, you will have to poly so dont lie, any retard who does, wont have ajob, less u work in mayberry with andy. tellin someone to lie is just screwin them over in the job run so stop. as a cop they want you to be honest, they know almost everyone has smoked weed, and maybe more, so if u havnt in the last 2 years chances are they wont care.. so dont lie, and dont bring up aas.

Not to flame at all.... but there is a one to two year + wait to get on Chicago's police department. They are pretty selective in who they take. Although I do agree with D-END noone in the right mind would want to work for chicago it would be for other reasons such as having to stay in chicago and not move to the suburbs and plus some of the suburbs pay close to a 100 grand a year where as chicago is much less.

They only test for Rec drugs, whether they do a hair, urine, or blood test. And please dont sweat the Polygraph, that thing is a piece of vodoo science S-hit. It is absolutely beatable. Certain members of the military, (Pilots, special ops, and others with security clearence) are put though a course where they are taught how to manipulate and beat the poly graph. So, it is obviously flawed. There is reason why it is not addmissable in court as evidence. http://www.police-test.net/services.htm
this web site sells a step by step manual, written by a former Poly graph tester, that tells you step by step how to beat it.

yea i'd like to try the book but from experience with things like this its probably a scam. I mean how can a book help your blood pressue not raise and do whatever else the polygraph tests. It is only 20 bucks and supposedly you get your money back so i may think about it but i've got my doubts on it. Do you know ppl that have tried it personally?

well today will complete a ful 10 weeks and its going to be my last shot. My tests that i really care about (actually want the job) are not until january. that is only the written and physical tests though. Polygraphs would then not be for probably a couple months down the road which would give me abour 5-6 months of being clean. Hopefully i pass, right now im' leaning towards just being honest.
I also had this question, when they ask and i tell them steroids , could i just say something like stuff they sell at gnc that has now been banned was what i was on, or r they going to see right through that as well?

Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.
For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.

I have never smoked weed in my life, never done any drugs, etc, but ill tell em straight up if they ask, yes, i did experiment with AS.
Oh, and when they ask "have you done any illegal drugs", thats followed by "INCULDING, marijuana, steroids , and taking medication without a prescription"...

Skip the police job become a real man and become a firefighter, actually it's great because I can visit my favorite web sites, workout, watch movies and play xbox all while getting paid.

IMO, tell the truth. where im at, they look for honesty, not your past (to a point). youll have to find out what they are looking for though

One of our departments investigators flat out told me that he took roids in college and lied on the polygraph. Hence he got hired.

polygraphs can only read bodlie sighns like heart rate, sweat, pulse, ecc. it is not a mind reader. Go to antipolygraph.com and down load the free book that tells you how to beat a polygraph. Trust me from personal experance that it works, don;t be affriad to lie.

I just went through the entire Hiring process with the local police Dept. I made it through the urine screen, interview, and was told I had the job. Pending the Poly. I was asked on the poly about roids specifically. I was completly honest on everything that I have ever done.. needless to say I did not get the job do to my drug use.. they told me to come back in a year or so and try again.. I was told that if there is any sort of use within the past 5 years then you dont get hired.. I talked to some of my other cop friends and they all lied thier asses off on the poly.. They had to take it 2 and 3 times BUT they stuck with thier guns and got hired.. I mean there is a reason that they dont use it in court..
I have since changed my carreer path..
oh yeah.. I had just gotten out of the ARMY as a military police officer and was all trained and ready to go.. I was highly recomended from another station.. and my father works on the force along with many numbers of friends.. So i thought I had it in the bag..
