Polygraph test requirements

[mgilmore]

Hi guys. I’m thinking of giving forensic science a try in the near future. I’ve heard that a polygraph test is a thing during the hiring process and I’m wondering which US states require it cause I know CA doesn’t and that’s all I can think of. Do you know of any states that do not require it? Thanks!! 🙏

No US state requires a polygraph test to become a forensic scientist, this is not a universal requirement and varies by department and jurisdiction so you would have to find out from the place you're applying to.
