On behalf of the Minnesota Polygraph Association and its members, I want to welcome you to the MNPA website. Established in 2016, our members represent law enforcement, government, and private sectors. We are dedicated to the establishment of the highest standards of ethics, integrity, and professionalism in the polygraph profession.
I am honored to be the President of the MNPA and to work with such talented men and women in the polygraph profession. I will fulfill my role as President to ensure that this is the best organization possible. The MNPA aims to provide and promote the most up-to-date polygraph related training, best practices, and professional resources for continued growth of ethical and evidence-based detection of deception through the use of the polygraph. The MNPA exists to provide examiners an opportunity to come together to share new ideas, methods, and techniques that will enable examiners to improve their skills and proficiency in the use of the polygraph. The MNPA strives for the highest degree of proficiency and ethics in the administration of the polygraph and encourages examiners to conduct themselves in a manner which will lend dignity, credit, and strength to the MNPA and the polygraph profession. We serve to seek the truth with integrity, objectivity, and fairness to all persons.
Our organization has worked hard to provide you with this website where you can stay informed of the activities of the MNPA. This website exists to assist the members of the MNPA, to inform the public about the polygraph profession, and to serve all who have an interest in the field or are in need of polygraph services. On this website, you will find links to other related sites, information on upcoming training, a member directory, information on how to become a MNPA member, and other relevant polygraph related information. I invite you to contact me, or any board member, with questions or requests for assistance.
