The City conducts polygraph screening in different departments and the information is not managed centrally. Is there a specific department of interest so that I can conduct the necessary outreach?

Hi Tamara,

Apologies, but thanks for the quick reply. It is the City's police department's pre-employment screening program I'm interested in. Nothing else.
