MICJ does not guarantee employment but will assist graduates who seek employment. As an accredited polygraph school, job notices are received which are made available to interested graduates. Polygraph careers are found in police departments, private detective or investigative units, or with security departments in general businesses. Salary differs depending on experience and training and will range from about $20,000 - $28,000 per year to start. Most polygraph jobs will require licensing, membership in the American Polygraph Association, graduated from an accredited polygraph school, or professional liability insurance. It is recommended that each potential student full explore employment areas prior to enrolling if not being sponsored by an agency. Course Assistance After Graduation MICJ recommends that each student submit their charts, test questions, and numerical analysis sheet for their first five (5) polygraph examinations for quality control review. Students may submit more if desired by their home departments or if recommended by MICJ. After graduation, MICJ will assist graduates at any time if questions arise about polygraph cases or matters. Graduates should advise MICJ of their professional memberships, promotions and accomplishments in their polygraph career. There is no additional fee for this course assistance. The MICJ polygraph facility consists of over 1,000 square feet, and is located in a modern office building. The polygraph school consists of a large main classroom and 10 private offices that are used for student practical exercises. Instructional equipment includes traditional school items such as blackboards, audiovisual equipment and view graphs. Twelve analog polygraph instruments, and four computerized polygraphs are also available for student use, along with video recordings, monitors and observation rooms where students can view polygraph testing during the practical exercises. The balance of the office area is used for administration and conducting a polygraph service business, since both the Director and Assistant Director are active polygraph examiners. There is a separate break room, two bathrooms, and a library. It is important that the professional reference materials are available to supplement basic polygraph instruction.
