INTRODUCTION:

Covert Operations and Surveillance are excellent methods of acquiring information; however they require sound techniques and the use of experienced, trained investigators and sate-of-the-art technology. They are closely related because in each instance, the investigator banishes his or her official standing to an obscure identity in order to accomplish the mission. In undercover operations, the investigator will probably assume an entirely different identity, often requiring extensive preparations. Because of the total involvement, and, in some cases, danger to the investigator, surveillance and undercover operations are used only when necessary as the best way or, as in many instances, the only way of achieving the desired results.

Undercover operations and surveillance are both employed in a variety of ways and require special skills and qualifications. There are several required skills that the surveillant must be trained in prior to going undercover: Observation and Description, Selection and Utilization of Informants, Techniques of Undercover and Surveillance Activities, Foot and Vehicular Surveillance Techniques, Airborne and Marine Surveillance, Visual Surveillance, Computer Surveillance, Electronic Surveillance, Technical Equipment, and Surveillance Log.

Surveillance can be also categorized according to function. There is, for example, intelligence-seeking surveillance where the investigator attempts to learn everything he or she can about a potential crime or an activity that takes place within any type of industrial environments.

 

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:

The primary objective of this "Covert Investigation & Surveillance Technologies" program is to provide information and techniques for establishing and implementing covert investigative and surveillance activities within any industrial environment.

Undercover operations and surveillance can be defined as the secretive, continuous, and sometimes periodic watching of persons, vehicles, and places or objects to obtain information concerning the activities and identities of individuals or groups. Oftentimes, surveillance is the only investigative technique available to identify the source, couriers, and recipients of illegal substances (drugs), stolen items and the co-defendants and co-conspirators in an operation.

 

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the "Covert Investigation & Surveillance Technologies"  program is to train attendees to ensure that they can apply a standard level of adequate and timely Life Safety and Industrial Security, Policies and Procedures within Covert Investigation and Surveillance environments.

Upon completion, a Mounted Certificate is awarded in "Covert Investigation & Surveillance Technologies".

 

 

OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROGRAM ARE:

  • Explain methods used in developing informants

  • Write and be familiar with the basic principles of informant selection and control

  • Management and relationship of the informant and investigator

  • Legal status of informant information

  • Discuss the procedures used in preserving and documenting information during informant and surveillance operations

  • Discuss procedures used in suspect's identification, characteristics and social routine

  • Explain appearance and function of the surveillant

  • Describe surveillant planning, procedures and methods of surveillance

  • Discuss loose and close surveillance techniques and procedures

  • Discuss foot and vehicle surveillance methods and techniques

  • Discuss surveillance where electronic, computer, mechanical, other devices are used to intercept the contents of any wire or oral communication.

  •  

    Instruction includes practical hands on demonstrations of devices

    used in undercover and surveillance activities.

    Practical exercises in surveillance will be conducted.
