Are poly’s required for SCI clearances with CBP/ICE and DoD?  
Also, is a poly required for reinvestigations on an SCI?

The time honored answer is, “It depends.” Doesn’t CBP make all applicants take a polygraph? At least for CBP Officer… and Border Patrol Agent

As far as a polygraph during a reinvestigation, not necessarily… but don’t give them any ideas.
