Family Security Matters » Publications » The Pentagon War on CVSA – An Analysis: "Editor’s note: This analysis was originally written in June of 2008, but with the recent jihadist attempt at blowing up a U.S. jetliner, it’s an important issue that deserves revisiting.
Introduction
By Policy Memorandum 08-11, dated 16 June 2008, Adm. Eric T. Olson, Commanding Officer of the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM), has prohibited the use of Computer Voice Stress Analysis (CVSA) as a credibility assessment tool throughout his command.
The memorandum states as follows: “In accordance with DOD and USD(I) regulations and guidance outlined in references (a) through (c) (of the memorandum), the use of CVSA… is strictly prohibited under all circumstances, with no exceptions. The polygraph and the PCASS (Preliminary Credibility Assessment Screening System) are the only approved credibility assessment technologies in DOD."
