ODT Streamlines Hiring Process for Police Dept.
The City of Kent Police Department streamlined its hiring process by integrating Ocular Motor Deception Testing (ODT) earlier in applicant screenings, reducing costs and saving 10-15 staff hours per candidate.
With ODT proving nearly 100% accurate compared to polygraphs, the department anticipates annual savings of $60,000-$70,000 while making faster, more informed hiring decisions.

Like many police agencies, the City of Kent (Washington) screens potential job applicants in a rigorous process involving many steps. If an applicant fails at any point along the way, they are disqualified from the process.
Historically, the City of Kent used polygraph examinations at the end of the background investigation process. The exam was conducted toward the end of the screening process due to cost and time required. The exam was used to determine if the applicant had been involved in certain illegal and improper behaviors.
Program Goals
Reduce the cost and time required for the screening process.
Given initial skepticism about ODTs accuracy they decided to first test 25 job applicants before fulling adopting the method.
Successful Results & Returns
Justin Davis, a background investigator over hiring and recruiting at Kent said that ODT “...exceeded my expectations. It has been phenomenally accurate when compared to polygraph. In fact, the test results matched in nearly 100% of the cases.”
As a result, the department has inserted ODT into the screening process at an earlier stage (as shown below). Now they make the “go” or “no-go” decision based on ODT results and an initial interview.

Key Takeaways & Benefits

- Significant reduction in hiring costs. The Kent Police Department expects to save $60,000-70,000 annually.
EyeCanKnow uses a mobile device to present a series of standardized questions while the device camera measures and records and contextualizes over 21 natural physiological reactions such as pupil dilation and other eye behaviors. The mobile device tracks the examinee's response times, error rates, and time outs (non-responses) to determine truthfulness. This patented, scientifically accurate technology is called ODT - Ocular Motor Deception.
EyeCanKnow's Lie Detection technology averages above 80+% accuracy. For comparison, the well-known and widely adopted Polygraph test only ranges between 60-75% accuracy, is extremely unreliable, and is prone to critical errors. Our Ocular Motor Deception (ODT) tests are used by 28 global governments law enforcement agencies across the world, including the CIA, NSA, and FBI. Many trusted partners use EyeCanKnow in combination with Polygraph, Urinanalysis, and background checks to provide a fast, comprehensive solution to truth verification needs.
Our expert team of test builders and engineers are here to help implement a system that works for you at impressive speed. You receive direct support from system implementation to test creation and results interpretation.
