At American Eagle Investigations, lie detector tests are not some rare or dramatic event. We perform them regularly, and the reason people come in is usually very straightforward.

Why Do Most People Get Lie Detector Tests? 

Cheating Is the Top Reason People Call Us for a Polygraph

The overwhelming majority of lie detector tests we conduct at our New York City private detective office involve suspected infidelity. In many cases, the person taking the test is not the one doing the accusing. They are trying to clear their name.

We have a lot of people who are accused of cheating by their better half and then they come in and say “no, I haven’t cheated but I want to take a test to prove that I haven’t.” 

Often the suspicion centers around a specific person or situation. Such as a co-worker that they are suspicious of their spouse cheating with, or a work trip or social gathering they were not at where they wonder if something happened. Sometimes it is as cut and dry as asking, “Are you cheating with this person?”

Top Reasons for Getting a Polygraph

The most common reasons we see people coming in for lie detectors include: 

• Infidelity/cheating spouse
• Pre-marital background check on their fiance
• Family disputes of stealing 
• Other relational disputes between family members
• Employee stealing or fraud 

Repeat Lie Detector Tests Happen More Than You Think

Some couples do not stop after one test. One thing we see quite often is couples coming back because there are new questions they want to ask, or a new situation has occurred that they are now questioning. We’ve had some people come in three or even four times to repeat the test.
