Welcome to the MICJ homepage...your source for excellence in polygraph training with a proven track record since 1976. Established in 1971, the Maryland Institute of Criminal Justice (MICJ) provides polygraph services for legal, medical, civil and employee related areas. Polygraph examiners at MICJ are members of the American Polygraph Association and Maryland Polygraph Association, and are graduates of American Polygraph Association accredited polygraph schools. MICJ is an accredited polygraph training institution.

  

MICJ HAS BEEN PROVIDING POLYGRAPH EXAMINATIONS SINCE 1971 AND ALL EXAMINERS ARE PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED AND MEET ALL PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS.

The MICJ basic polygraph course is fully accredited by the American Polygraph Association and meets the legal requirements of ASTM.

When selecting a polygraph school for training don't base your decision on the type of polygraph instruments featured by the school. All computerized polygraph systems are windows based and there are only minor differences in software. MICJ graduates are qualified to use any type of polygraph equipment.

More important in selecting a polygraph school is the training on testing techniques, question formulation, chart analysis, and interview/interrogation. MICJ teaches validated comparison question and numerical evaluation used by the US government since the 1960s, along with techniques of police applicant screening. Our polygraph instructors are all active examiners with over 100 years of combined polygraph experience in all types of testing.


The Basic Polygraph Examiner Course is approved for payment of Veterans Benefits. The MICJ V.A. Facility Code is 2-5-0168-20
