Former Polygraph Examiner Faces Charges | Portland Maine News

A former polygraph examiner is facing six misdemeanor charges for allegedly falsifying exam results and tampering with public records — actions that could shake trust in Maine’s law enforcement hiring process. Regan Goan, who retired from the sheriff’s office, reportedly misled officers and manipulated reporting after conducting exams for agencies across New England. Despite claiming a 27-year career built on integrity, his conduct came under fire when another examiner raised red flags — including one case where he misrepresented an out-of-state transfer exam to meet local licensing rules. With polygraphs still a key requirement for many agencies — even if their legal weight is contested — this case raises serious questions about oversight and accountability in a system that relies on truth-telling.
