The objective of the research was to consider the international experience of legal regulation of the use of polygraph in the field of corruption prevention. In this regard, the experience of the use of polygraph and polygraph studies in the activities of law enforcement agencies in various countries as one of the methods of preventing corruption was analyzed. The methodological basis of the research is presented as comparative-legal and systematic analysis, formallegal method, method of interpretation, hermeneutic method, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. It was concluded that the main areas of application of the polygraph are both the investigation of crimes (including criminal ones) and the fight against organized crime and also as one of the valid methods to prevent corruption, as well as to verify the reliability and integrity of applicants for positions in the police, prosecutors' offices, courts and other law enforcement agencies and, as far as possible, to ensure the seriousness and integrity of public servants who wish to occupy higher positions in their career path.
