The features of the profession of a polygraph examiner and the principles of operation of the device were considered.
The class was conducted by the Head of the Information and Technical Support Department, polygraph specialist, Candidate of Legal Sciences, Police Lieutenant Colonel Oleksandr SHCHERBYNA.
Cadets of the Dnipro Lyceum of Security Orientation and National-Patriotic Education named after O. Hostyschev of the Ministry of Internal Affairs became familiar with historical methods of detecting lies — from ancient Chinese and Indian practices to modern psychophysiological approaches. Special attention was paid to the phenomenon of lies as a social phenomenon: its functions, forms, and types.
Psychophysiological, verbal, and nonverbal signs of lies were considered in detail, as well as the principle of operation of the polygraph as a complex multi-channel system for recording physiological reactions of the organism to corresponding stimuli, and the basic principles of operation of the device were demonstrated.
Familiarization of the lyceum students with the profession of a polygraph examiner contributed to expanding their outlook, developing critical thinking, and understanding the importance of ethical aspects of the use of the polygraph.
