Lafayette Polygraph

🕰️ This , we’re reflecting on the journey of Lafayette Instrument and the evolution of our polygraph systems, carefully built on innovation, dedication, and the trust of examiners around the world.

Since 1972, Lafayette has been committed to advancing polygraph technology: from the first Examiners Polygraph with a transportable inking system, to LX7 in 2025 with modernized software, advanced channels, and intuitive design.

Key milestones along the way include:
🔹1973: Electro-Cardio for personalized sensitivity
🔹1978: Modular polygraph systems for unmatched flexibility
🔹1993: LXSoftware is released. LX2000 computerized polygraph with long-term digital storage
🔹2007–2017: LX5000 and LX6, combining rugged durability with expanded capabilities
🔹2023: LXEdge, our next-generation software, improving efficiency and customization
🔹2025: LX7, further expanded measures with a new modern and elegant design

Through every advancement, our mission has stayed the same: to empower polygraph examiners with reliable, precise, and examiner-focused tools, helping them get to the truth with confidence.

From the earliest inking systems to today’s fully digital instruments, we’re proud to continue leading the way in polygraph technology, thanks to the examiners who inspire us every day.

🗓️ Midyear Checkpoint: Accuracy, Clarity, and Accountability

As we approach the end of the first half of the year, it’s the perfect time for polygraph examiners to take stock. The tools you rely on everyday matter: clear, accurate, and consistent data capture is critical, especially in high-pressure sessions.

At Lafayette Polygraph, we continue to innovate so examiners can work with confidence, whether in the field or in the office. From the industry-leading LX7 to the next-generation LXEdge, our systems provide precision, reliability, and examiner-focused control.

Here's your Midyear Polygraph Checklist:
✔️ Assess your current tools: Are they delivering the clarity and accuracy you need?

Mixed issue screening is quietly costing your program clarity, defensibility, and qualified candidates. You will learn how to move from omnibus batteries to single issue SIST, a three stage successive hurdles model, and risk banded reporting you can actually stand behind with your QA team and adjudicators.

If your screening work still leans on 4-6 topic DLST batteries and binary "pass/fail" calls, this webinar was built with you in mind. We will walk through base rate math, salience effects, DLST vs. SIST, and a practical three stage framework that cuts avoidable false positives, protects truthful candidates, and strengthens your programs legal and policy footing.

At the end of this webinar, you will have a field ready roadmap to better screening: cleaner single-issue structures, standardized Stage 1 protocols, structured Stage 2 clarification, targeted Stage 3 confirmatory testing, and risk banded reporting instead of vague omnibus calls.

Come ready to stress test your current model and leave with specific changes you can pilot in your own program on Monday.

This webinar will be offered twice, be sure to sign up if you work in law enforcement pre-employment, PCSOT, government screening, or any high-stakes decision environment—this topic will matter to you.
