Here is an excerpt from the introduction:

The LEPET [Law Enforcement Pre-employment Test] is currenty used in different forms by federal law enforcement agencies during the pre-employment process. This Psychophysiological Detection of Deception (PDD) test is used in screening applicants for federal law enforcement positions requiring United States security clearances. The LEPET taught by DoDPI is a two phase examination; the first phase addresses security and counter-intelligence issues. The second phase addresses suitability issues for employment as a federal law enforcement officer. This procedure is based on the version of LEPET administered by the U.S. Secret Service, but is consistent in structure to the procedures used by all federal law enforcement agencies.

Very interesting literature. Further points out the tactics used. One another note. I have tried to view this particular file on two different computer systems. For some odd reason, when it is opened, I can only see the first page and then I cannot proceed any further to view the entire document. Any suggestions why? Anyone out there experiencing these problems with this particular document from the site? Thanks.
