History

The Indiana Polygraph Association has been in existence for forty years. Today, the association has over fifty active members from all across the state. The IPA also has several members from surrounding states. Several polygraph examiners have achieved the status of Life-Time Member for the many years they dedicated to the association. The polygraph examiners in the association practice either as a private examiner, law enforcement, or in a government capacity.

The IPA has grown from a few examiners who met in April 1971 as an informal group to a dedicated professional organization. During this time, many obstacles have been overcome and many changes have occurred. Standards have been developed and the instrumentation has changed from analog (mechanical) to the modern computer polygraph age. The Indiana Polygraph Association is committed to continuing the achievements made by our veteran members and the professional polygraph discipline.
