Who Could Benefit from a Polygraph?

The general public seeks out polygraph testing more than you'd realize. From the suspecting husband to the mother concerned with a family member's drug use, polygraph testing can help you find the answers you need. Kendall Investigations is equipped to address any particular need you may have. Common types of requests include –

• Relationship Issues - Sure, it was a whirlwind romance, and you were both happily skipping through the honeymoon phase of your relationship. What if your significant other has started to come home from work late every night five years in and three kids later? And when they're home, they're sucked into their phone mindlessly putzing around while you hold down the fort? To avoid unnecessary tension and, 'he said, she said,' battles, taking a polygraph could settle the concern.
• Family Disputes – This one can quickly become a messy mud pit of misunderstanding. Family members seem to have a knack for getting under each other's skin, and it's even more evident when significant events happen in the family. Allowing Kendall Investigations to conduct a test can help determine where the truth lies. You'd want an answer ASAP if you suspect that your brother swiped mom's missing wedding ring when cleaning out mom and dad's estate. If the ring merely ended up missing, you'd be facing a tragedy with a family rift over nothing.
• Abuse Concerns – This serious topic is one that no one would want to wait and see what happens. If you start feeling sneaky suspicions that your child is suffering from abuse and you have a feeling you know who it is, you'd want to find out immediately. Administering a test right away can either alleviate your worst fears or provide you with proof that the child's situation must change without delay.
