Polygraph experience
Since the beginning of my career in 2005, I have dedicated my professional life to the advancement of polygraphy worldwide. My work encompasses four main areas: instruments, training, consultancy, and testing. These areas form the foundation of my international efforts in forensic psychophysiology and investigative support.
Polygarph Instrument
I am the creator of the P.O.L.A.R. Polygraph Instrument (https://polarpolygraph.com), a modern and portable device designed to meet the needs of today’s polygraph examiners. This system combines advanced chart analysis with intuitive software features, making it accessible for both new and experienced professionals. P.O.L.A.R. is currently used by government and private institutions across multiple continents.
Training
Polygraph training is a key component of my mission to promote scientific and ethical standards worldwide. I have developed and delivered training programs in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. These programs include academic material authored by myself in the respective languages and are tailored to the needs of each region and institution. Training is offered through B.E.A.R. INSTITUTE. I have conducted examiner training for government and private entities in counties like:
- Colombia
- United States
- Algeria
- Angola
- Democratic Republic of Congo
- South Africa
- India
- Chad
- Spain
- Türkiye
Consultancy
Over the years, I have advised government institutions and private clients on the implementation of polygraph services. This includes:

Testing
My fieldwork experience spans North, Central, and South America, as well as Europe, Africa, and Asia. I have conducted polygraph examinations in diverse settings, including:
- Criminal investigations
- Civil disputes
- Private matters (e.g., infidelity, theft)
- Employment screening
This broad scope has allowed me to understand the nuances of investigative practices across legal systems and cultures. I perform polygraph tests fluently in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, German and Dutch. Consultancy and testing is offered through the brand B.E.A.R. FORENSICS and B.E.A.R. SYSTEMS.
