The International Security Certification Board., an industry-leading provider of business-to-business and business-to-government compliance & background check solutions and certification organization, announced today that it has formalized & certified the polygraph examiners for the elite Colombian military's naval credibility assessment unit.
BOGOTÁ, Colombia, Nov. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- International Security Certification Board is the first independent certification board awarded ISO / IEC 17024:2012 accreditation by the National Accreditation Organization of Colombia (ONAC, Organismo Nacional de Acreditación de Colombia) for the polygraph and credibility assessment sector in Colombia and the world.
Colombia's military and law enforcement agencies rely on polygraphs as an essential tool to identify and deter crime and corruption in its ranks. However, most traditional polygraph training programs in Colombia and Latin America were formerly offered by unlicensed institutions that did not follow government laws and standards, issuing certificates not recognized by federal or state education authorities. For the polygraph government community, this was a problem due to the many lawsuits being received. The goal was to formalize and certify the polygraph examiners of the elite Colombian unit with the Ministry of Education of that country.
For the past three months, we have worked with CIPE International Ltda, our subsidiary company in Colombia, accredited by the local education authorities, to test the polygraph examiners' knowledge and abilities. Today, all Colombian military's naval credibility assessment unit members are listed with the Ministry of Education of Colombia. The ceremony will take place in Bogota, Colombia, on November 26, 2022.
"Today, the formalization and certification of the Colombian military's naval credibility assessment unit have paved the way for other law enforcement and military agencies in the region to correct the irregular certificates of their polygraph examiners," said Mark R. Bartch, CEO of International Security Certification Board. "In a lawsuit, the question about the validity of a polygraph training certificate will no longer be an issue. I am excited and proud to have been part of this project."
