What offenses in a polygraph test in becoming a cop would they disqualify you???

if you admit to something in the test can they arrest you if it was like a year ago??
 
"if you admit to something in the test can they arrest you if it was like a year ago??"

If you ask this question at the time of the polygraph, you can pretty much count on not getting hired.
 
Offenses that disqualify you are determined by the department, so the answer will vary depending on the department, the severity of the crime, and the time elapsed.

A polygraph is not admissible in court, so you would not be arrested for anything you say.
 
It depends on the department and their individual policies. It's also based on your other actions. They do accept you to have made stupid mistakes, we are all human, but you would need to be the type of person who has learned from their mistakes. Generally offences against another person, such as assault, murder or sexual assault usually disqualify you, and stealing from an employer is looked down upon. Lying about everything looks bad too. Just be honest. That's really the best you can do.
