Tips For Surveillance

Private investigators and private detectives require knowledge in the different areas of investigation; one main area where a private investigator or a private detective should be very well versed on is the area of surveillance. Surveillance is a procedure that is essential to the process of investigation. It is important because it helps investigators observe target people or suspects on their daily routine, which may give clues essential to the investigation. Surveillance is a very dangerous field. If the surveillance process is compromised, it may then result to a legal battle or worst a physical altercation, which may lead to injury or even death of either the suspect or the private investigator.

Because of the dangerous nature of surveillance that private investigators and private detectives are always encouraged to practice proper surveillance technique so as not to compromise their position and ultimately not to jeopardise their investigation and their life. Here are some basic tips in surveillance that may prove to be useful for private detectives and private investigators.

1. When tailing a vehicle at close distance in an area where there is heavy traffic, you must remain calm and inconspicuous. Remaining calm and unsuspecting is key, just act like any other motorist. Acting like will make it less likely to lose the suspects’ vehicle especially in areas where there are a lot of traffic lights.

2. Use slightly tinted glass in your vehicles’ windows will prevent being easily seen by the suspect.

3. Always have your recording materials at hand such as your audio recorder or pen and paper as you only have a few minutes to record any observations that you think is essential to the investigation. It is also a good idea to record events, as they happen to avoid either forgetting times or missing out vital information.

4. Be careful in using the video recorders, don’t be too obvious when you utilise a video recorder. If the suspect gets a glimpse of you using a video camera suspicions may easily arise and that may compromise your position or your investigation. Care is needed when performing surveillance on a suspect, remember that above all your life is of paramount importance, never do anything that would compromise your position, your investigation and most of all your life.
