Standardized Vetting Unit Barbados
“Truth. Clarity. Integrity.”
Welcome to SVU
We offer professional polygraph and integrity testing services that are trusted by law enforcement agencies, corporate organizations, and private individuals. Our services are designed to support truth verification, enhance workplace integrity, and assist in investigative processes. With a commitment to accuracy, confidentiality, and ethical standards, our program was established as part of a broader initiative to strengthen national security by vetting individuals for security clearance and reinforcing trust in sensitive environments. This effort plays a critical role in safeguarding key sectors and improving security across the island, contributing to a more resilient and accountable national framework.
Polygraph
A polygraph, often called a "lie detector," measures physiological responses like heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and skin conductivity to assess whether a person is being deceptive during questioning.
EyeDetect
EyeDetect is a computer-based lie detection tool that measures involuntary eye behaviors, like pupil dilation, blink rate, and reading patterns, to assess deception.
New to the process
If you’re unfamiliar with polygraph or integrity testing and need guidance, we’re here to help. Our team will walk you through each step, answer any questions, and ensure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process.
