The one I am applying for doesnt test for steroids unless they suspect you using them. They just give a normal drug screen, but if you find a department that gives a polygraph they usually ask about it.
Calling all police officers or former officers I have some ?'s about academy training

Well if you did all of that the background check would uncover alot of that and you would never get to the polygraph test. Yes, if you have done drugs in the past, tell them.

How would a background check catch any of it when it happened 12 years ago, you were never caught for any of it and you don't maintain contact with any of the people (nor do you give their names as associates) from back then?
Hypothetically...
I believe you would get to the polygraph stage, have to admit it (unless you defeat the poly) and you would be fucked. Also, how would they respond to recent steroid use if they knew?

Polygraphs....
Many places are getting rid of them because they are so unreliable that they have no evidentiary value. In fact, for some purposes they are illegal because they are so unreliable.
Beating one is easy. They monitor physical responses that are easy to control. I have an e-book written by a guy who was a polygraph administer. Tells you all you need to know to beat one.
Breath control and butt pucker control is the basic gist of it. Do it right and you can make the machine say anything.
PM me if you want a copy. I'm not sure where the link on the net is now.

yep
if you can focus on things while answering questions, you can pass one. My buddy just passed one for the fire department. He also took 5mg of valium before he went in. The first ? they asked was if he took anything to alter his mood before the polygraph. Also, they asked him about smoking pot, cigarettes, doing/selling drugs... all of these which he did do in the past, and he passed them. But, he failed a ? about stealing from an employer, which he never did do. So IMO, polygraphs suck ass.

Hell, from the look of the cops around here, I think they see how much food you can eat, and how fast! lol. Seriously though, a lot of them are really out of shape so I cannot imagine they had any P.T. that amounted to anything. As far as the polygraph comments go. If you or anyone ever needs assistance with those damn things, a good site is www.antipolygraph.org
