 My name is Matthew Slye. I'm a lieutenant with Idaho State Police. I began working with the agency in 2003. As a patrol lieutenant, I have two responsibilities. One is to oversee the day-to-day operations of the patrol division, and I also oversee our polygraph unit. Since 2008, I've been a certified polygraph examiner, and over those years, I've ran hundreds of tests, pre-employment tests, and also criminal testing as well. And I believe that it's helped our agency. I still believe in polygraphs, and I believe that it's an important function for law enforcement, not only for hiring, but also for criminal testing. In 2016, we were introduced to ID Tech through one of our command staff members, who is Major Bill Gardner. He had heard about the technology and then had asked for a demonstration to be done for members of our command staff. The more that I started looking into this and asking questions, the more I took a step back and was like, I need to look at this because this process isn't about me. It isn't about our polygraph unit. It's about the applicants that are coming through. And if we can provide ways to make sure that we're getting good applicants through a process and this enhances that, then we need to seriously look at doing that. Idaho State Police started using ID Tech in 2016. We currently primarily use it for applicant testing. So we use it for commissioned troopers and then non-commissioned employees as well. The benefits of using that is it's a very standardized test, which means that everybody goes through the same test. They get asked the same questions. So it takes the human factor out of the testing part of that, which I think is a very beneficial part. The other tests that we've used for is a DLC and we've used that for some criminal testing. We've recently started doing an MCT test for screening applicants now. And one of the things that that does is it gives us a specific area where somebody fails on the test, which is a huge benefit for us. We feel like we're getting a very trustworthy applicants who have integrity when they pass ID Tech. The way that our process works here is if they pass ID Tech, we don't even do a polygraph. We move them right into background. The people that have passed have made it through background and we've seen them being good, honest employees. Since we introduced ID Tech and started using it, it's reduced our time and reduced the efforts that we've put in when we are strictly doing polygraphs probably by 25%. For those law enforcement agencies who have not yet looked into ID Tech, I would encourage them to not be afraid to look into the technology. I think oftentimes we're our biggest enemies when it comes to doing this job because we get comfortable, we get familiar with doing things a certain way. And we need to be able to adjust with the times. ID Tech is a scientifically validated credibility assessment technology that I think is beneficial for law enforcement agencies, not only for applicant testing but also for diagnostic or criminal testing.
