PCSOT.

Post Conviction Sex Offender Tests (PCSOT).

PCSOT is a vital piece of the sex offender’s treatment program as part of The Containment Model strategy, which helps manage convicted sex offenders who have returned to the community after incarceration.

The model involves a comprehensive program of assessment, supervision, intervention, and treatment. An essential part of the supervision component is the use of post-conviction polygraph examination.

Cox Complete Investigative Agency has a retired FBI Special Agent who is certified to conduct PSCOT and other polygraph examinations. Our examiner possesses the requisite knowledge to conduct PSCOT polygraph examinations, approved by the American Polygraph Association.

These tests are conducted in coordination with Treatment Providers and Probation Officers. Testing includes Denial Testing, Sexual History, Maintenance, and Monitoring Polygraph examinations.

PCSOT Polygraph Examination Required by Florida.

In Florida, all sex offenders are required to take a PSCOT polygraph test annually to obtain information necessary for risk management and treatment.

It is believed that the PSCOT polygraph testing mandate helps reduce the risk of offenders committing new crimes after they are released, and it increases the public’s safety by regularly examining sex offenders.

It is essential to choose an examiner certified by the Florida Polygraph Association (FPA) and has completed the requirements as outlined in the guidelines. Rest assured, Cox Complete Investigative Agency’s examiner is certified and possesses the requisite knowledge to conduct PSCOT polygraph testing as part of sex offender treatment and monitoring programs.

Why is PSCOT Testing Important?

Many offenders have denial relating to their sexual misconduct. The polygrapher will attempt to break through the denial by asking pertinent questions about the sexual behavior of the offender. Polygraph testing has been shown to help break through the denial stage.

Regular PSCOT polygraph testing monitors the sex offender to determine whether the offender is potentially re-offending or engaging in activities inconsistent with the offender’s conditions of release.

Types of PSCOT Examinations.

  1. Instance offense exams (IOE) – Conducted as an event-specific polygraph for examinees who deny any or all important aspects of the allegations pertaining to their present sex offense crime(s) of the conviction.
  2. Prior-allegation exams (PAE)– Similar in design to the IOE above. PAE investigates prior alleged sex offenses (i.e., allegations made before the current conviction) before trying to investigate and resolve an examinee’s history of their unreported sexual crimes.
  3. Sexual history disclosure exams – There are 2 basic types of sexual history polygraphs to investigate the history of involvement in unknown and/or unreported offenses and other sexual preoccupation, sexual compulsivity, or sexual deviancy behaviors.
  4. Sex offense monitoring exams (SOME) – Examiners conduct the SOME to explore the possibility that the examinee may have had unlawful sexual behaviors, such as a sexual re-offense during a specified period.
  5. Maintenance exams – Maintenance Exams should emphasize target questions about compliance or non-compliance with supervision and treatment rules.
