A: Yes, in Colorado, if you’re required to take a polygraph test for a job, the state mandates that you receive a copy of the consent form. Before the examination begins, the agency must provide you with this document. This requirement ensures you are fully informed about the process and your rights.

Having a copy allows you to review all the details of the polygraph test carefully. You can take the time to understand what is expected and ask any questions you might have before giving your consent. This transparency is important for making sure you feel comfortable and aware throughout the procedure.

If you have any concerns or need more information, don’t hesitate to reach out to the agency conducting the test. It’s important to be well-informed and supported during this part of your employment journey.
