Honest police officers will be determined using a lie detector

To become a police officer - you need to find a common language with a polygraph

Politsy Polygrandych. To turn into a policeman, the police officer must undergo re -certification. Police officials, fulfilling the order of President Medvedev, for some reason decided that without a lies detector re-certification may not take place. What role does a polygraph actually play - The New Times sorted out
In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to check employees for loyalty, as if the softest method was chosen - a lie detector. But the head of the department, Rashid Nurgaliev, is deeply convinced: it is precisely the check on the detector of all repactables that is the most effective mechanism for cleansing the ranks of the “werewolves”.

With the help of sensors attached to the fingers, breasts and head, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs identify different categories of “werewolves”: “werewolves” in their pure form - members of organized criminal groups introduced or recruited into the ranks of law enforcement; “Ghouls” - police officers who bought diplomas (as the police themselves call them); “Moles” are senior employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs recruited by foreign intelligence.

In one of his interviews

* * “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” dated 04/11/2011 Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Nurgaliev said: “We equipped all the territorial internal affairs bodies with the latest polygraph devices, a system of retraining of psychologists for work on special equipment was organized. The activity of the polygraph is increasing every day. In 2010, about 6 thousand special psychophysiological studies with its use were conducted in the whole country, which is almost a quarter more than a year earlier. ”

People from the “land” are criminal investigators, investigators of linear branches, officers of one of the special units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the service of their own security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as representatives of another power department - the FSB and Nurgaliev agree. But not in everything.

How does this work? Here is what the New Times told about the possibilities of the polygraph, the FSB officer, who once passed from one secret department to another: “The first questions are related to the verification of the examined for the presence of special training, which allows you to“ beat ”the lie detector: did you have taught the methods of opposing the polygraph, did you take special drugs of exciting effects or, conversely, inhibiting the state of the nervous system. That is, they are already caught at the entrance. ” The remark about the altered state of vegetatives is very significant - this is a kind of interference that interferes with the work of the determinant of lies. FSB psychologists tell how one of the officers managed to deceive the polygraph only because his wife gave birth very hard and he had deeply spit on the test results.

The main problem that they try to identify in the service is addiction to alcohol and drug use. Everyone is thumping with us! Disagreement

"

“Further questions are about the studied blocks - the subjects of possible concealment,” the source of The New Times continues to get acquainted with the polygraph. - such items can be: bribes, illegal services associated with abuse of official position, recruitment approaches, etc. If the subject is on on block matters, he will be offered to go through an “expanded polygraph”, and this is already three hours of “interrogation with addiction”. “It is better to tell the whole truth right away,” says another FSB officer, who was tested on a polygraph in connection with the appointment of a higher position. -I somehow tried to ignore the fact related to the offer of one very insignificant service to me, which, by the way, I refused. So while in all the details he did not tell who, where and under what circumstances offered it to me, the car did not miss me. ”

Can everything be a polygraph? The lie detector, according to professionals, is only one of the effective means of identifying unclean employees. A well -prepared polygraphologist is able to certainly detect all the lack of compassion, all gaps in the biography of the subject. The Ministry of Internal Affairs checks in the following areas:

• participation and communications with organized crime groups;

• the presence of relatives with a criminal record;

• is there self -interest in choosing a profession;

• A tendency to alcohol and drug use.

And even such a completely unexpected question at first glance is sometimes asked by some future policeman: do you be in connection with foreign intelligence?

According to Vyacheslav, a specialist-polygraphologist of one of the many psychophysiological laboratories of the FSB, "the reliability of the Stopudovaya barbel." A young man of about 35, with a neat military hairstyle, in a well -sewn Italian suit, is sure: “To identify a“ mole ”,“ werewolf in uniform ”? A competent psychologist who knows the basic methods is able to check any person for any subject. This is not evidence of guilt. But it is accepted like this: if you were opened on a polygraph, then I'm sorry. Here you have a piece of paper, write a report and goodbye. In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there really are now massive inspections on the polygraph: they are mainly checked by the “average” managerial link. They say that even we work with their specialists in the line of interaction. But personally, I do not have such an experience. ”

A representative of one of the suppliers of polygraph, a former special services officer, to the question of the correspondent of The New Times about the reliability of the results of such an audit said: “In fact, a lie detector is just a device. But the point is not only in him. It all depends on the qualifications of the psychologist processing the results of the study. ”

Poor habits are most criminal investigators and linear sections with which the New Times correspondent had a chance to communicate with, multifaceted and characteristic personality. But for some reason, all as one, to a question about testing on a polygraph, stubbornly say: “Yes, there was no polygraph. Now they check for “lice” only those who come to get a job. Moreover, it is completely incomprehensible: either there is not enough own forces and funds, or just no one needs it. ”

Alexey - the captain of the criminal investigation department, transferred to the service in Moscow recently. Now it establishes intelligence work, selects informed informants. No polygraph took place either before or after the start of re -certification in the Ministry of Internal Affairs: “The main problem that they try to identify in the service is an addiction to alcohol and drug use. Everyone is thumping with us! Disagreement. Most young employees (under the age of 33) used drugs. I, what is there to be sinful to hide, is no exception. But if this selection criterion is made fundamental-who will work? "

"Or maybe it's still the absence of psychologists?" - asked The New Times.

“It's all about politics. There seems to be enough specialists. We have no problems in the framework of the case to lead a person through the detector, but they are in no hurry to check us, ”admits Alexei.

This is also confirmed in one of the private companies: “The Ministry of Internal Affairs has enough resources for mass testing of their employees. Not everyone at once, of course. Moreover, they themselves prepare their specialists. We, private traders, are not allowed into this sphere - they are afraid of leaks, implementation. ”

An employee of one of the Moscow police department, who wished to remain unknown, said: “Where I serve, there are only two psychologists. Moreover, one is going to quit - it does not withstand the load. Imagine how many years should go through while the remaining psychologist checks the entire personnel? And why all this? We already have for each opera opera operating on the federal wanted list and the top ten “episodes” - continuous hanging. ”

The hand taking the senior officer of one of the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Konstantin, a strong man, with a scar in the entire left cheek, says: “Our group was driven away in full force through the polygraph immediately after returning from a business trip to the Caucasus. The subject of interest of psychologists is the identification of people who could potentially be involved in gangs. But actually, we have the states, on the basis of which we can re-certification, have not yet come from the center. ”

If the generals are put on a polygraph, then they will immediately need to be transplanted from the apparatus to the cameras

"

“What is the re -certification? What is the polygraph? - He is echoed by a senior officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, an employee of his own security service. - You understand that the appointment to senior positions is a political issue. The minister himself says about this: they say, it is the president that decides, he selects, appoints, etc. Well, if this is a political issue, then what to discuss it: they said - they did. Normal checks can go at a lower level. For the posts of the upper rank, the fundamental is not a polygraph, but the principle of personal devotion. ”

People from the “land” - operatives, linemen and investigators - have their own explanation for this paradox: “If the generals are put on the polygraph, then they will immediately need to be transplanted from the apparatus to the cells. After all, these are dragons, but very respected and rich, ”Aleksey expresses collective opinion.

This is also confirmed by our source in the FSB: “Now even the heads of the departments of the bribe are taken directly, not hesitation of anything and no one. The other day, they took one such cupcake: literally with an outstretched hand he stood and waited for when they put it, ”a comrade from the competent organs smiles. “For many, the service is like a small oil pipeline. Hope is that the youth, who has just come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Many show zeal, the polygraph pass normally: apparently, really not everything is measured by money. There are honest ones, the truth. "

Young people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs itself are somewhat differently evaluating the problem of honesty: “I got to the flock: barking, but waging its tail.”
