Surveillance & Team Tactics

Surveillance & Team Tactics

Undercover investigations are not one-person assignments. This class focuses on team tactics for covert assignments.

 

The use of untrained surveillance techniques leads to safety risks as well as loss of evidence. Surveillance is a valuable tool to incorporate into investigations that will aid in gathering evidence and successfully prosecuting cases.

The Surveillance and Team Tactics class gives officers skills to surveil, track and locate suspects while remaining undetected.

This training teaches behind-the-scenes intelligence gathering, covert surveillance techniques, surveillance mistakes to avoid, safety considerations, and how to plan for the unexpected.

 

This class includes live training scenarios on the road so you can practice techniques learned in the classroom. Students will work as a team following multiple suspects in several challenging scenarios.
