I think we need to put this one particular issue to bed. I just went on line and found a source that I think is reliable (the official website of the Evansville Police Department).
This is what they said about polygraphs:
"Who gets the test results?
Polygraph results are confidential. A polygraph examiner will only release the results of the exam to the examinee and to the police detective or prosecutor who requested the examination. Upon the discretion of the lead detective, the results may be released to the Prosecutor’s Office. Polygraph results are not released to employers. If the exam is regarding a police pre-employment situation, the results are only released to the examinee, the EPD Police Personnel Unit and the Police Merit Commission."
So it does indeed appear that the "examinee" receives the results of the polygraph.
I'm not picking on anyone, but this keeps going back and forth, and I think it's probably good to use a police source, rather than opinions, or one's own personal experience.
Bottom line: You can and do get the results of your polygraph.
Thanks.
