Global Response Team

Established in 2015, GPN’s Global Response Team is an ELITE group of GPN members who are specifically trained, experienced, and prepared to travel to any stable country to provide polygraph services. GRT members come from all over the world, and each member has extensive polygraph experience. Our team has completed projects for several foreign governments, and has worked with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and the U.S. Department of State.

The GRT specializes in testing of law enforcement, security, and investigative personnel, but can test for any other legitimate purpose as needed. Whether the issue is screening of new hires, obtaining or updating of security clearances, anti-corruption screening, counter intelligence testing, evaluation of current personnel, or specific issue testing, we can accommodate almost any request. We can work with the existing team of examiners, or function independently and report directly to the agency in charge.

• Teams are available worldwide for projects requiring at least 12 exams.  Less than 12 exams can be handled by a single examiner.
• Team sizes of 2 to 6 examiners are available, with each examiner administering 3 (or possibly 4) exams per day.  If a translator is used, each examiner may only be able to provide 2 exams per day due to time constraints.
• Teams are available for 5 to 10 consecutive days.  Longer term projects can be accommodated by using rotating teams.
• We recommend each team be supplied with a supervising examiner to provide Quality Control and oversight.
• Most of our examiners speak only English, so interpreters must be provided by the hosting country if necessary. We do have some multi-lingual examiners but they are in high demand and are not often available.
• The client is responsible for obtaining (or helping to obtain) for GRT members any work permits, visas, or other clearances necessary to provide agreed-upon services, including the cost of obtaining such permits or clearances.
• Services of our team are only provided in politically stable countries.

If the client prefers a less expensive option than hiring our Global Response Team, we can send individual examiners to handle the project, but the project will take substantially longer to complete, and may not have the benefit of Quality Control Review of each exam.

Please note that our examiners are all in private practice, so projects of longer than 10 days will adversely affect their current businesses.

EXAMINER TRAINING:  Our Team members come from a variety of backgrounds, including Law Enforcement, Government, and Private Practice.  While all of our members graduated from APA accredited training schools, individual training will vary greatly from member to member.  If the client requires only NCCA trained examiners, that is not something we can provide.

NOTE: Members of the Global Response Team are not employees or contractors of the Global Polygraph Network ®. GPN negotiates all agreements on behalf of its members.  Depending on the type of contract agreed upon, each member may enter into a separate agreement with the client based on the “collective” agreement that has been reached.  In this case, payment may need to be made directly to each member of the Team. GPN serves as the coordinating agency for all Global Response Team projects. A direct GPN representative may or may not be on site to oversee a particular project, but could be involved in the Quality Control and report preparation process.

NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST:   To avoid any potential conflicts of interest, we generally will not provide Examiners who are based in the country where services are to be provided.

IMPORTANT:  In countries that are considered “unsafe” or “high risk,” the Client must provide adequate security for our team members at all times while they are in the host country.

Contact us with your specific needs and we will get in touch with you to design a customized program to suit the needs of your country, agency, or company.
