Surveillance within Close Protection
The role of Surveillance and Countermeasures within Close Protection is vital to the security and continued safety of the Principal and other team members. Counter measures must be deployed at all times in order to prevent security breaches and unknowns gathering information on a Close Protection team and the Principals movements.

Protective Surveillance
Protective Surveillance is used during high threat Close Protection contracts so that the opposition can be drawn out and identified to the team before any attempt on the Principal is made. This may involve inserting undercover operatives in large crowds, blanket photographing arrivals and departures of the team and the Principal during daily movements or by deploying counter methods when gathering intelligence against hostile surveillance targets. This kind of surveillance is at the highest level and all operatives must be highly skilled to carry out this role successfully.

Electronic Surveillance
Electronic surveillance is used quite widely in the surveillance world today, from the deployment of simple transmitters and receivers to the most complex transmitter cameras, telephone taps and covert vehicle tracking units. It is vital that a Close Protection Officer is fully aware of the capabilities of such devices in order that counter measures can be employed to defeat them.

Photographic and Video Techniques
To become a successful surveillance operator a good working knowledge of both stills photography and video filming is required. The ability to operate in the most difficult and sometimes dangerous situations and guarantee the video or photographic evidence is achieved is essential. Filming in rain, total darkness, from covert observation posts and in pitch black conditions are all skills needed to learn. Patience and the ability to concentrate for long periods of time without being distracted is fundamental.

Reporting
Reporting skills are of paramount importance to any surveillance role. It completely defeats the purpose of carrying out surveillance if accurate and methodical reports are not produce contemporaneously. The gathering and collating of evidence is as important as the actual surveillance itself and at the end of an operation may be used in a Court of Law.

Counter measures
Counter measures are probably one of the most neglected aspects of surveillance. It seems everybody wants to learn how to carry out surveillance but very few actually want to learn how to avoid it. Because of this highly trained counter surveillance operatives can name their own price when called in to carry out counter measures. It is not unusual to earn five thousand pounds for one days work once you gain a good reputation.
