Jeremy Samide has also obtained government funds for polygraph tests that his subcontractors and their examiners conducted and has violated numerous subcontractor agreements by not dispersing the funds appropriately. Yet the institution, all executive members and the federal polygraph examiners from this organization all currently hold US Active Top Secret Security Clearances and are currently being endorsed by the American Polygraph Association (APA). The APA is currently promoting Emerging Technologies Groups polygraph activities within the US Federal and State Law Enforcement Sector on their website and currently has 3 separate recruiting postings up ( http://www.polygraph.org/section/careers ) asking that NCCA trained federally qualified Polygraph Examiners as well as state law enforcement trained examiners join ETG to work in support of several government agencies in conducting CI scope screening, specific issue, criminal or expanded-scope polygraph tests and to screen police, fire and public safety applicants using the Law Enforcement Pre-Employment Test. What can you do to help stop DIA, the DCMPD and other government agencies from paying exorbitantly large sums of US tax payer money to fund contractors with clear ethics concerns from administrating polygraph exams to pre-employment applicants? Contact legislators and ask that they look into the DIA, DMPD and other government agencies continued funding of E-merging Technologies Groups Polygraph operations in both in the Federal and State law enforcement sector.
