– Background Investigations & Polygraph Examinations. BlueLaw first began offering polygraph examination services in 2008, in support of Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) and USAID’s Anti-Corruption Threshold Country Program (TCP) in Paraguay. Under this program, BlueLaw organized, mentored, and operationalized a 115-person customs and border control task force of handpicked members of the Paraguayan Police, Navy, Attorney General’s Office and Customs’ Office. The vetting of these personnel involved conducting hundreds of polygraph examinations of recruits to Paraguay’s first inter-agency law enforcement and customs and border patrol unit. Since then our Polygraph Examination Services has substantially grown to a core team of 40 Federal examiners with National Center for Credibility Assessment (NCCA) Certification, and a potential surge capacity of more than 200 federal and non-federal examiners.
