Jay Cherry has been around long enough to separate truth from fiction.
After retiring in 2012 following 21 years with the FBI, Cherry opened Eagle Eye Polygraph in The retired FBI agent open Eagle Eye Polygraph in Batavia, Il., in June 2014, Kane County Chronicle reports.
“I did criminal work, investigating federal crimes and did polygraph testing as a specialty since 2004,” said Cherry, of Batavia. “To beat the polygraph, it is very difficult. … To a trained examiner, it is really obvious.”
Cherry said the polygraph is more sophisticated than it used to be.
“The technology is more sophisticated, but basically uses the same principles from 100 years ago,” Cherry said. “We have better ways of recording physiology. I’ve had … guilty people who … think they can beat the test through force of will.”
Cherry charges between $250 and $1,000 to administer a polygraph test, which takes between 90 and 120 minutes.
