What the students can expect
Skills are taught which are necessary for gathering evidence by covert means and to become a proficient surveillance operator. We teach how to carry out surveillance on foot, by vehicle and by static point. These skills are then put into practise by carrying out supervised surveillance exercises. The training is further enhanced with lessons on legal issues in relation to evidence gathering, photography and vehicle tracking.
This course includes training exercises that are realistic, structured and controlled to gain the most benefit for the student. All equipment such as vehicles, covert radios, and cameras are supplied. We normally limit this course to a maximum of eight students.
