This enables the team, because of their specialised experience,  to both anticipate what a subject is going to do next, because most modus operandi are similar, and to determine reasons for what targets’ intentions are, in potentially ambiguous circumstances.

This is often necessary to avoid losing a subject which “general” surveillance teams often do when they are not familiar with all the “tricks” a subject can play to avoid being watched or followed.

Conducting a tailor made surveillance results in a 96% success rate, not an industry average of 70%.

It is critical the subject never realises he or she is under surveillance.

To this end a team needs to be comprised of different elements:

How do Corporate Surveillance Teams differ from Private ones ?

• Surveillance Vans

Equipment wise, by their specialised nature, a different range of equipment involving a higher grade of technology is used.

Opposite is an example of the internal fitting of a surveillance vehicle disguised as one of the vans below, but in reality, a fully equipped surveillance vehicle with various long-range recording equipment.

• Operative Qualifications & Experience

All our operatives have a disciplined background having had service in the police or military so are experienced in working in teams of any size. All are qualified to BTEC level 4, which is the highest accreditation training standard in the UK and have a minimum of 10 years experience.

Surveillance Vans – External Appearance

Surveillance vans are used for both stationary and mobile surveillance. The operatives inside are dressed suitably and have never been challenged because they not only look the part, they act the part. All of them have law-enforcement and military backgrounds so are used to the equipment and manner of behaviour if ever challenged (which never happens to us anyway).

“Which one is the Long Range & Recording Surveillance van?”

Surveillance Taxis

Which one is the Surveillance Taxi?

We have a number of Black Taxis driven by trained surveillance operatives. That ensures it not only blends into its surroundings perfectly but any special manoeuvres that a subject may use to test whether he is under surveillance or not comes up clean.

There is nothing worse than having to start again with a more surveillance aware subject.

That results in a much more expensive surveillance the next time (more people needed) and having to wait much longer for the target to feel safer. All the information you could have got is then missed.

This does not happen with the surveillance Taxis we use and is one of the advantages of using specialists like ourselves.

Motorcycle Surveillance.

Large cities are full of congested traffic.

When that occurs the motorcycle part of our team takes prominence to ensure the subject does not slip away in traffic.

The black car has no idea it is being tailed by 3 vehicles including the motorcyclist.

Co-ordination

Co-ordinating on an assignment between agents is key to an efficient and successful operation.

All our team members have over 10 years experience in co-ordinating with each other.

This ensures the subject is never aware he or she is under surveillance and that matters are brought to a successful conclusion.
