CITY OF SAN BERhRDINO - REQUEST l,c)R COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The Ci ty of San Bernardi no entered into a contractual agreement wi th
William S. Lane, DBA Internal Control who provides pre-employment
polygraph testing on law enforcement trainees, lateral police officers,
pre-service applicants and reserve police officer applicants.
The agreement commenced July 1, 1991, and terminates June 30, 1992.
William S. Lane has adhered to all terms of the agreement and the level
and quality of service has been satisfactory.
Pre-emploYment polygraph examinations have proved cost effective by
de t e c tin g pro b 1 em s wit h i n ani n d i vi d u a 1 I S b a c kg r 0 u n din the i nit i a 1
stages of the background' investigation rather than at the end of the
background process or even after employment.
The result of the polygraph examinations are used as an investigative
too 1 in the pre-emp 1 oYment background proces s. The pre-employment
examination can explore the truth or veracity of the perspective police
applicant, as well as previous drug usage, alcohol abuse, medical
problems, and prior emploYment history.
It is our desire to continue using the polygraph examination as part of
the selection process.
