Confidential Online Request
Requesting an appointment does not commit you to proceeding. Every enquiry is personally reviewed by Dr Keith Ashcroft to determine whether the matter is suitable, whether the proposed issue can be examined fairly and what location is most appropriate.
You can complete the request online without first speaking by telephone. An examination is not confirmed until suitability, consent, question formulation, venue and availability have been reviewed.
Expert Credentials
Your enquiry, case review, question formulation and examination are handled personally by Dr Keith Ashcroft, chartered investigative psychologist and polygraph examiner. The service does not operate as a directory or pass private enquiries to subcontracted examiners.
Professional credentials already described elsewhere on this website include full membership of the American Polygraph Association, the National Polygraph Association and the American Association of Police Polygraphists, together with Dr Ashcroft's role as Director of the UK Polygraph Association.
Holding an APA-accredited post-graduate qualification in psychophysiological detection of deception and extensive experience as an Expert Witness in UK courts, Dr Ashcroft provides authoritative, scientifically grounded testing across all legal, corporate and private matters.
Private Professional Venue
Polygraph examinations require a private, quiet and appropriately controlled environment. Depending on the location and nature of the instruction, an appointment may be arranged in a professional meeting room, private office or suitable clinical setting.
Domestic home examinations are not normally offered because interruptions, familiarity, other occupants and environmental conditions can affect the integrity of the process.
Advanced computerised physiological monitoring is used to record respiration, cardiovascular activity, electrodermal activity and movement during a structured professional examination.
