 My name is Don Creipel. I'm currently Director of Eye Detect Services with the Capital Center for Credibility Assessment, C3A. Also a member of the Converis Technical Advisory Board for Eye Detect. I have three years of federal service, all of it in the credibility assessment arena, primarily in the area of polygraph but more recently in other technologies as well. To my friends and colleagues in the field of polygraph, who may feel that the Eye Detect technology is a competition for the polygraph, I would have a couple of comments. One is that the scientific evidence for polygraph and eye detect suggests that both of them have a high level of accuracy. However, each of has a different strength. I would offer to my colleagues that the use of both technologies together, and they can be used together, is a better choice than using just one technology or the other. Eye Detect is not a competitive technology, but is in fact a complementary technology that will allow polygraph examiners to be more effective in those things and those services that they deliver to their departments, agencies and clients. Eye Detect is very important to the company for which I work, C3A, because the business area that C3A focuses on is credibility assessment. They provide scores of polygraph examiners to the U.S. government under contract. Therefore, their chief mission is supporting the U.S. government and their missions to protect classified information and to defend national security. C3A complements that objective by, if it were introduced, allowing a greater number of individuals to arrive at their polygraph session with an increased likelihood of doing very well. Therefore, C3A in its own way helps defend national security and protect sensitive information.
