ENCLOSURES
X-PER 24-1
FILE FIN 16-2
The Stoelting polygraph instruments are necessary to be purchased due to the
following factors:
1. Presently, we are in possession of two Stoelting polygraph
instruments, each approximately 15 years of age. Both of
the current instruments are in need of extensive repair and
they both have been cannibalized to provide one marginally
efficient machine. The remains of these two old machines
can be utilized as spare parts for the two new machines as
all Stoelting parts are interchangeable.
2. The Miami Police Department has sixteen (16) qualified
polygraph examiners all trained on the Stoelting Polygraph
instrument. If the new instruments are not Stoelting, it
would necessitate the re-training of all our polygraph
examiners in the use of a different instrument.
3. Currently, we are polygraphing approximately 4 to 5 criminal
and Internal Security cases and 40 to 45 police and civilian
employee applicants each week. A breakdown of the one old
machine and/or failure to make a timely purchase of the new
machines will curtail new employments and investigations.
