DOUG WILLIAMS
"The expert everyone else quotes"
Doug was given the VOLUNTEER ADVOCATE AWARD as "the one person most responsible for the Employee Polygraph Protection Act becoming a Federal Law". This law prohibits the use of polygraph testing as a condition of employment in the private sector, and it also gives some rights and protections to those who are exempt from the law and still subjected to polygraph testing.
Here's something to think about: If the polygraph really does work, we don't need a Federal Law to protect people from it. But the fact is, it doesn't work! Polygraph testing is dangerous because it often brands truthful people as liars - and as a result, it ruins reputations, careers, and lives! If you are not protected by this law, and you are subjected to polygraph testing, you must learn how to protect yourself. You must get properly prepared for your polygraph test - that is your only protection! Go to the STORE to get the tools you need to protect yourself from this insidious Orwellian instrument of torture called the "lie detector".
As a decorated veteran of the Oklahoma City Police Department, Doug held the rank of Detective Sergeant in charge of the Polygraph section of the Internal Affairs Unit. As an expert police polygraphist, Doug administered thousands of tests for the Oklahoma City Police Department and for many other agencies including the Secret Service and the FBI. He has also administered hundreds of tests as a private polygraphist. So he knows all the "tricks" of this terrible trade!
A veteran of the US Air Force, Doug was assigned to the White House Communications Agency where he worked in the White House Situation Room and served as communications advisor to two U.S. Presidents. He took his first polygraph examination, administered by the CIA, as part of the security clearance for this White House staff position which required TOP SECRET CRYPTO PRESIDENT'S EYES ONLY. (This is the highest level security clearance possible and required that Doug pass a background investigation conducted by many different agencies including the SECRET SERVICE, FBI, NSA, CIA, & DIA)
A graduate of Oklahoma City University, Doug holds a BS degree with dual majors in Criminal Justice/Psychology. He also attended the OCU School of Law.
A graduate of the National Training Center for Lie Detection in New York City, Doug completed a 257 classroom hour program of formal polygraph studies, satisfied the post-resident requirements and was issued a certificate of qualification as a duly recognized Expert Polygraphist.
Doug was licensed to administer polygraph examinations under the Oklahoma Polygraph Licensing Act, and was licensed by the State of Oklahoma.
Doug was also the first person to prove that the polygraph test was not valid as a "lie detector", and in 1979, he invented the STING TECHNIQUE, what polygraph examiners now call countermeasures.

Doug wrote the very first manual teaching people how to ALWAYS PASS a polygraph test which was first published in 1979 and it was also the very first e-book available on the internet - POLYGRAPH.com was launched in March of 1996. His manual has been updated and revised over fifty times since the first edition, and to date over two million people have used his STING TECHNIQUE to pass their polygraph tests.
Dr. David T. Lykken, endorsed the techniques taught in Doug's manual & video/DVD saying, "...if I were somehow forced to take a polygraph test in relation to some important matter, I would certainly use these proven (methods) rather than rely on the truth and my innocence as safeguards; an innocent suspect has nearly a 50:50 chance of failing a CQT administered under adversarial circumstances, and those odds are considerably worse than those involved in Russian roulette. (A Tremor in The Blood: Uses and Abuses of the Polygraph, 2nd ed., Plenum Trade, 1998, p. 277)
Qualified as an expert witness on polygraph testing in numerous courts, Doug has testified in numerous arbitration hearings for law enforcement officers fired for failing polygraph tests - and has been successful in getting them reinstated! Doug's proudest moment was when he was the only polygraph expert to testify as an expert witness before the U.S. Congress in support of the Employee Polygraph Protection Act.
If you need to have Doug Williams testify as an expert witness in a case involving the polygraph, his fee is negotiable depending on the nature of the case.

Doug was the only expert witness to testify against the use of the polygraph in the Texas Senate and House, and was solely responsible for the passage of a law that prohibits the use of the polygraph in internal investigations of Texas State Troopers.
As a member of the board of the Office of Technology Assessment, an investigative arm of the US Congress impaneled to study the validity of the polygraph as a "lie detector", Doug introduced evidence that the polygraph test was not valid as a "lie detector", and demonstrated that a person could be taught to beat the test.

In 1979, Doug mounted a three pronged attack against the polygraph industry - utilizing the tools of EDUCATION, LEGISLATION, AND LITIGATION - and he was instrumental in getting the use of the polygraph banned in private industry with the passage of the EPPA. But, the government continues to use it and, Doug continues to fight to outlaw it completely.
