Intelligence and surveillance

Surveillance is the art of following and observing people without being noticed by the target. Depending on your profession and role, you can be both the target and the observer. Our 2-day surveillance detection training program is designed to help participants develop the skills they need to detect if they are being followed, also known as counter-surveillance. There are a variety of reasons why someone might be targeted for surveillance, ranging from governmental agencies seeking information on their whereabouts and associates to criminal organizations gathering intelligence before conducting an attack. During the program, we will focus on developing a Surveillance Detection Route (SDR) and practising this technique on the streets. The aim is to help participants become more aware of their surroundings, recognise suspicious behaviour, and respond effectively to potential threats. Our basic surveillance course spans 3 days and is specifically tailored to individuals who will be carrying out surveillance and gathering intelligence in major cities. This course is designed to equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to conduct effective surveillance, particularly in situations where the target is likely to use public transport networks and travel on foot instead of by car. We will focus on the following topics: Covert Awareness: Understanding how to maintain a low profile and avoid drawing attention to oneself is essential when carrying out covert operations. Covert Communications: Communicating effectively without arousing suspicion is a key skill for anyone involved in covert operations. Our training covers a range of communication techniques and strategies to help participants stay under the radar. Public Space Surveillance: Conducting surveillance in public spaces, such as parks, streets, and squares, presents unique challenges. Our training program explores these challenges and provides participants with the tools and techniques they need to gather intelligence effectively. Public Transport: When the target of surveillance is using public transport, it's important to know how to blend in and remain inconspicuous. Our training covers a range of strategies for conducting surveillance on buses, trains, taxis, and the tube. Indoor Malls, Stores and Restaurants: Conducting surveillance in indoor spaces, such as malls and stores, can be challenging due to the multiple levels and complex layouts. Our training program provides participants with the skills they need to navigate these spaces and gather intelligence effectively. Our 5-day surveillance course is a combination of the above mentioned courses: we combine the 2-day surveillance detection training with the 3-day basic surveillance course.
