There is a need for law enforcement examiners, especially in the federal government. The growing population and increasing crime rate may create more openings for polygraph examiners in the future. Courts in many states allow the use of polygraph test results as evidence, and public pressure for reducing court backlogs may increase the use of polygraph tests. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, demand for forensic science technicians, who are similar to polygraph examiners, is expected to grow at a rate of 14 percent, much faster than the averageĀ for all occupations, through 2028.
