Polygraph Admission Not Relevant

Chicago Police Applicant J.S. was disqualified from the eligibility list for the position of probationary police officer in relation to his background investigation which allegedly revealed that Applicant had failed to disclose his one-time 2005 use of marijuana during his post-polygraph interview. J.S. disclosed the use on his personal history questionnaire, pre-polygraph test, and home interview. A hearing was held, and the Board found that since J.S.'s 2005 one-time use of marijuana was not relevant or material to his suitability for the position of PPO, failure to disclose it earlier in the application process did not constitute a violation of the standards. J.S., a college graduate who worked as a volunteer for the police department, was reinstated to the eligibility list. 15HRB110 (2016)
