ABOUT NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF POLYGRAPH EXAMINERS OF UKRAINE (NAPU)
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF POLYGRAPH EXAMINERS OF UKRAINE – a professional public organisation operating throughout Ukraine, founded on July 7, 2016. The purpose of creating NAPU was to unite polygraph examiners with different professional knowledge and practical experience to form a single fundamental scientific basis and theoretical foundations for conducting polygraph research, create methodological recommendations, and generalize practical experience with polygraph work in our country.
National Association of Polygraph Examiners of Ukraine sets itself the following tasks:
- Development of the profession of polygraph examiner;
- Development and improvement of legislation on the procedure of conducting polygraph examinations/tests;
- Implementation of ethical standards of polygraph examiners and protection of the professional rights of members of the National Association of Polygraph Examiners of Ukraine.
Since its establishment, the Association has been continuously expanding its scope of activities and elevating the level of tasks.
Despite such rapid development, our organisation has been able to remain loyal to the fundamental postulates of its activities: independence, openness, apoliticality, democracy, and equality of its members.
The work of the NAPU is based on the personal initiative and interest of its members.
During our joint work, we were able to become the most dynamic and active organisation of polygraph examiners in Ukraine, declared ourselves outside the country, and took an active position on many issues in the field of conducting research using polygraph.
