The Authority for Polygraph Practice in Britain and Europe

Welcome to the official website for polygraph professionals across Britain and Europe. We also welcome members of the public, government organisations, and corporate bodies who are interested in learning more about this specialist field or who require professional advice and support.

The British & European Polygraph Association (BEPA)

Established in 2008, The British & European Polygraph Association (BEPA) is the largest organisation of its type in Britain and Europe and it encourages professional polygraphers and those involved in the detection of deception, around the world to join our ever increasing numbers.

 

BEPA examiners are highly qualified professionals who are motivated to help those who employ our services by verifying the truth, while following the highest standards of moral, ethical, and professional conduct. BEPA governs the conduct of its members by requiring adherence to a Code of Ethics and a set of Standards and Principles of Practice.

 

In order to become a BEPA member, examiners must adhere to strict guidelines and educational requirements that include hundreds of hours of coursework at an accredited school, as well as an internship. As in many respected professions, BEPA members must acquire continuing education and training in order to maintain membership.

 

It is this strict entry criteria and the monitoring of our membership that gives those employing our services the highest level of confidence.
