Staff of the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) who fail the polygraph test will have their services terminated says President Bharrat Jagdeo.
Earlier last week Jagdeo revealed that the staff had undergone tests administered by a member of a US firm in a bid to ensure their integrity, which is critical to the country’s drug fight.
He had said that there would be changes based on the results of the tests. At an informal briefing with reporters at State House on Saturday, Jagdeo again did not reveal the name of the US firm but said that details would be released this week.
Commonly known as the lie detector test, polygraph testing utilizes an instrument which simultaneously records changes in physiological processes such as heartbeat, blood pressure, respiration and electrical resistance (galvanic skin response or GSR).
