Surveillance is easy! Yes it is, for the professionals.
From time to time we receive feedback about how easy we make the process of surveillance look once our clients receive the results. We would say that it can be easy to a seasoned professional that has had years of practice to perfect his craft.
Each job brings its own challenges such as high pressure vehicle pursuits in heavy traffic, judging traffic lights and maintaining a discreet position without losing the Subject’s vehicle or compromising the investigation. There is a fine line between maintaining discretion and increasing the risk of losing the Subject’s vehicle. As we are civilians, not police, we aren’t allowed to run traffic lights or break the law, which can make vehicle pursuits that little bit more challenging.
The other factor people often forget is the long hours of boredom waiting for the Subject to depart a residence. During the wait time our focus must remain high and alert so the Subject’s departure or any movement at the location is not missed. This requires a very high level of patience and attention to detail.
Some of our clients prior to engaging our services attempt to conduct their own surveillance on the Subject. The problems that we regularly hear from these new clients is that due to the Subject usually being familiar with their personal appearance and vehicles they can’t gain the information without compromising themselves. We always advise people to not attempt their own investigations for the following reasons:
– We aren’t known to the Subject and have access to multiple different unknown vehicles
– We have proper training and equipment to gain the desired information
– We are licensed by the government to conduct legal surveillance investigations
– By the time you spend your time and money on the investigation, it’s highly likely that we will have achieved a much better outcome.
– You can be charged with stalking if the person becomes aware that you are following them.
These are just some of the reasons that we strongly recommend allowing us, the professionals, to uncover the information you require in a timely, legal and cost efficient manner.
Please call us today to discuss any specific investigation requirements that you are considering. We are happy to have a no obligation discussion to see if we can assist you.
