your chances are not very good. forget the debates on the accuracy of the polygraph. the results of this test are going to be used in the hiring process. iam not trying to slam you but you need to make a commitment to stop breaking the law if you are truly interested in a career as a law enforcement officer. if i were you i would wait a while and do some research into the departments hiring policy. don't just rush in and fail the test. minor drug infractions from years ago are often overlooked but a violation as recent as this is bad news. good luck.

First there is a web site run by an ex policeman who specialized in polygraphs that sells dvds on how to beat it by contracting and relaxing certain muscles. He does this because he does not believe they are accurate and falsely imprisoned thousands. Secondly, don't worry about them asking you that on the lie detector worry about the hair sample their going to take from you thats gonna show the residue on your hair follacles. Go to a head shop and get some special shampoo and wash it out. Hope this helps.. If you get in I want a PBA card...

You should tell them you did smoke weed 5 months ago, but STOPPED. Dont do it again, but I knew cops who were hired by smoking weed in their teen years, not sure about the 5 months though.
