Description

The Authority is looking to launch a tender for a new contract for the provision of polygraph training, quality control and Lafayette polygraph equipment. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) works to protect the public and reduce reoffending, and to provide a more effective, transparent and responsive criminal justice system for victims and the public. The MoJ has been polygraph testing high risk offenders on licence since 2014. In that time, the MoJ has completed over 9000 polygraph tests and currently has 25 examiners and this number is anticipated to increase over the life of the contract.
